// I want to set the path

You could try to set it explicitly, for any file operation :) :

C++

class CPathHolder : public CString
{
public:
  CPathHolder() :
#ifdef UNDER_CE // or another of your mobile defines
  CString(_T("\\Work\\your_files\\")) {} // or another default for CE
#esle
  CString(_T("C:\\Work\\your_files\\")) {} // or another default for PC
#endif
}

/*global*/ CString& GetPathHolder()
{
  static CPathHolder cPathHolder;
  return cPathHolder;
}

/*global*/ CString& GetCurrentPath()
{
  return GetPathHolder();
}

/*global*/ void SetCurrentPath(const CString& cszNewPath)
{
  GetPathHolder() = cszNewPath;
}

void CYourApp::CYourApp()
{
  SetCurrentPath(
#ifdef UNDER_CE
    _T("\\Work\\PhotoViewer\\LastFiles\\")
#else
    _T("C:\\Work\\PhotoViewer\\LastFiles\\")
#endif
  );

  //...
}

void CYourApp::ShowPngFile(const CString& cszPngFileNameWithoutPath)
{
  CString cszFullFileName(GetCurrentPath() + cszPngFileNameWithoutPath);

  //...
}
