Right click the file, click properties and then look for where it says "Location:". That is where your file is located. If you want autoit to do this, that would make no sense because the way a file is identified is by its filename and if you don't know the file's filename then, um, it can't be done.

However, you could create a script that gets the path of its current location and simply copy and paste that script to different places and run it. The script would then tell you where it is and in turn you would know what folder all the other files with the script are in.

Something like this could be done:

Msgbox(0,"Script's Current Directory:",'The Script is currently in: "' & @ScriptDir & '\"')
