It's not the people I work with that annoy me. It's the few customers who seem to call multiple times every week with the oddball scenarios that need special attention that make me hate the job sometimes...like today.

I work in this place with a guy called
Member 9244203 and he makes me hate my job 
|

I hate my job but not because of the people I work with. I hate it because of the totally asinine coding rules that I am forced to comply with. Team lead is a nice person but bullheaded and claims the customer we work for will not permit any changes to the rules for us but yet the customer regularly ignore their own rules.

It's not just you - some people who work alone feel the same way.

Sometimes I felt bored of my workplace.
Programmer is only me and other people are sales and management.
I'm younger in my team and sometimes my worker is too old.
It's hard to communicate with them.
I have been worked for 3 years in window programming..
Thesedays, I got slump and lose interest.

what do you call a sting that holds a file path together with the file name itself
e.g. C:\Folder\Directory\myFile.txt
And what do you call just the file name?
e.g. myFile.txt
And what about just the name of the folder the file is in?
e.g. C:\Folder\Directory
I never seem to be consistent - I think we need a new word (or am I missing something?)

Filepath:
C:\Folder\Directory\myFile.txt
Filename:
myFile.txt
Folderpath, or path:
C:\Folder\Directory

I would change that slightly:

Complete Filename:

Originally folder is a logical term where used much before computers, where directory is the physical place on the storage and came to use with computers...

There is no folder; only directories.
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

The first two are basically the same thing: both of them let you find a file. One is relative and one is absolute but in most cases you don't care about that. I/O methods will accept either and do the right thing.
If you do care then I'd call the first either filePath or absoluteFilename.

Lordy lord, what sort of systems are you working on?

You forgot relative path, for example: ./bin/debug

They aren't folders they are directories. It should still be called FileManager, not Windows' Explorer.
A pox upon whoever made those UI decision.

Absolutely. Directories are EXACTLY right, as the directory is jsut a collection of pointers to the files within - whereas the folder metaphor implies the physical existence of the files within the folder, which is drivel and rot.
If anything, a disk drive should be a folder, containing directories of files.
But we are victims of the dumbing down of It and, in most cases, it doesn't matter to the user who (lets be honest) call their monitor their computer and the computer their hard drive!

Exactly! Also More Like An Index Or Catalog. A Document May have links From Many Directories. Try That With Folders!!

In my code, filename means just the filename (and extension); pathname means the entire path including filename. The path is just the path.

You call them all a path. Then you have methods to tell you which bits they include. Look at the dot net System.IO.Path namespace.
If you can work the word 'Rooted' in there somewhere you are doing really well.

pfn - i.e. path file name
fn - file name
path

std::string slurp(const std::string aPfn);

Explorer leaks memory like a sieve. Sieves don't leak memory, you say? Like it suffers from Alzeihmers then. Whatever.
Anyway it started out being slow and getting slower by the day. Long story short, it seems to use a few additonal megs every time I browse a folder, and god knows what else that makes it crawl.
I suspected a faulty shell extension but disabling every damn thing makes no difference. I don't install anything beyond the bare minimum dev tools anyway, nothing exotic.
Wasted a couple of days wrestling with the POS when it grinds to a halt and trying to fix it.
I thought Win7 was pretty stable?
Looks like an OS reinstall for me, and we all know how painful it is to get everything back after that.
As MM would say, faarrrkkkk!
