stdio.h has methods for you to use to open/close and traverse directories on the system. There is no such thing as opening a folder to a computer program. You are opening a file not a folder. All the words between the slashes are just the path to the file.

stdio.h works with standard input/ouput including file handling (which means dirs too).

using system....are you working from the command line or from an IDE?
(you can also access files using there complete path, and may not need to change directories)
