I have a problem with the MoveFile() function of the Win32 API.
I cant move files which are in the same directory as the exe file,if i specify the pathname,it dosent work.I dont know how this function works.Need urgent help.......
C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. # include<windows.h>
  2. # include<iostream.h>
  3. int main()
  4. {
  5.       MoveFile("C:\File1.txt","C:\New Folder\File2.txt");
  6. }
