getenv("SystemDrive");
Returns char*.
If you mean the Windows dir, you could also use getenv("WINDIR").
By the way:

Code:

TCHAR path[MAX_PATH]; // nothing to say?
GetSystemDirectory(path,MAX_PATH); // copy system path into 'path'
lstrcat(path,_T("\\yourfile.ini")); // append "\yourfile.ini" to 'path'

GetPrivateProfileInt(_T("Section"),_T("Key"),DefaultValue,path); // read value

this should work.
