Yes, that should work. Also commandline parameters of Total Commander,
environment variables and more must be taken into account. On the Total
Commander forum I found a recent discussion
    "Detect path to TC main settings file from plugin"

Funny, isn't it?  There it is explained how to do it.

However, in the meantime I found another way how to get the location of
the DLL, using GetModuleFileName() (for details please see my reply to
Wolf). I think the function was made for that purpose.

I'm sorry, I believe I forgot to mention, that the DLL not only can be
used by Total Commander, but also by any other program. Although I think
probably not many people will use the DLL with their own program, I'd
prefer a solution that does not rely on information provided by Total
Commander.

So I'll first gather some experience with the other method. But it's
good to know an alternative way in case there will be problems.

Thanks,
