You weren't being insulted. Rather, Ancient Dragon was just surprised you'd be trying to write a Windows program without enough knowledge. You've got to start off small. Windows programming in plain C requires a detailed knowledge of pointers, structures, unions, typedefs, and function pointers, not to mention the Win32 API itself.

Let's face it; if converting "C:\somefolder\someprogram.exe" to "program.exe" is a serious obstacle for you, then your skills aren't yet sharp enough to write a non-trivial Windows program from scratch. This isn't an insult. It's a statement of fact. Try to focus on improving what you do know, and don't assume everyone offering opinions is trying to beat you down.
