You can open a file from anywhere (local) using its precise path i.e.:

D:\SomeDir\SomeFilename.txtC:\SomeOtherDir\SomeOtherFilename.txt

If you need to know file I/O in C++ search for tutorials on it using Google. Note also that in literal strings in C/C++ you need to write double backslashes -- as an example of opening the previous file using C I/O:

fp = fopen( "D:\\SomeDir\\SomeFilename.txt", "rt" );

Good luck,

Illco

As an aside, rather than use double-backslashes you could just use single forward slashes, so
fp = fopen( "D:/SomeDir/SomeFilename.txt", "rt" );

Using paths does not require any header.
fopen requires (if you are using C) or (for C++).
