FullFileName must refer to an existing file or directory name.

example
var 
  Drive : Char; 
  PathPart, FileName : string;

//if Application.ExeName equals 
//c:\Program Files\Borland\Delphi 7\Projects\Project1.exe

ProcessPath(Application.ExeName, Drive, PathPart, FileName);

//PathPart = '\Program Files\Borland\Delphi 7\Projects'

Searching for Files
Stop. This is the one and only solution to file searching. Use Delphi to find any file in any directory and/or subdirectory that match a certain mask. Start searching.
