Jump to Postyou have to create one string that contains all the parameters. For example
system("ipconfig /all ");
Jump to PostCould be a problem with either surrounding your path with quotes or not putting double backslashes to separate the directories I think.
What's your path?

Well, you coul just call chdir() function.

Yeah that's better I don't think my way works. I suppose a way to get around it would be to write the command as a .bat file then call the .bat file from system.

The system() call forks out to another process. So if you use it to change the directory, it affects the new process, not your program.
