Thanks to all those who responded to my request. I am posting the
most appropriate method in case others are interested.

GetModuleFileName(hInstance, path_buff, sizeof(path_buff));

will get the full path name of the EXE file regardless of how the
application was loaded.

Thanks to Bill Joy for his reply.
