Hi. Many many thanks to all for the advice and info. My aim was to place a little program in the "Run" folder that could read a text file containing a list of files that would be deleted on boot up.
The files and shortcuts that I delete are replaced by the device everytime it boots, annoyingly most were on the desktop. Anyways, problem solved.
I'll try the code for converting later, I'll let you know the result.
The link to The Complete Guide to C++ strings has been VERY helpful, thanks.

Hi Alain. Thanks for your advice. You were spot on, I saved a file via notepad in the unicode format and it worked.
As mentioned I'm new to this so I wasnt aware I was reading into a unicode string, any idea how I would change my code to read ANSI ?
I got so much to learn, but thats the fun of it :)
Many thanks everyone.
