How to create a file in a certain directory in windows?

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
using namespace std;

int main () {
    
  ofstream outfile ("c:\windows\system32\test.txt");
  
  if (outfile)
  {
              cout << "it works";
  }
  


  cin.get();
  return 0;
}

Well, I am trying to create a file in the c:\windows\system32 path. I have googled and it basically told me to do this, but it doesn't seem to be working. I have UAC disabled. I am running windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.

\t is the tab character. Try this instead:

ofstream outfile ("c:\\windows\\system32\\test.txt");
