look up findfirst, findnext, findclose, chdir, rmdir, mkdir, getdcwd - typically found in io.h and direct.h as part of the standard C library.

void CFile::GetDirectoryList(const std::string& a_Path, std::vector<std::string>& a_Files)
{
	WIN32_FIND_DATA				FileInfo;
	HANDLE						DirectoryIndex;
	std::string					SearchPath = a_Path + "\\*.*";

	DirectoryIndex = FindFirstFile(SearchPath.c_str(), &FileInfo);

	if (DirectoryIndex == (HANDLE)-1)
		return; 

	do
	{
		if (FileInfo.dwFileAttributes != FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY)
			a_Files.push_back(FileInfo.cFileName);
	}
	while(FindNextFile(DirectoryIndex, &FileInfo) != 0);
	
	FindClose(DirectoryIndex);
}
