On windows there is no single "working directory". Each drive has its own working directory.

ROOT does not provide the generic method to do that.

  You need
  const char * TWinNTSystem::WorkingDirectory(char driveletter)

#ifdef R_WIN32
# include "TWinNTSystem.h"
#endif

 . . .

#ifdef R_WIN32
const char *myworksingdir =
((TWinNTSystem*)gSystem)->WorkingDirectory('d'): #else
const char *myworksingdir = gSystem->WorkingDirectory(): #endif

Best Regards
