Nelly,
If your current drive is e:, "\certificates" means e:\certificates, whereas "certificates" (without the initial backslash!) means (Current folder)\Certificates.
I believe there is no need to hardcode the path; just omit the backslash.
If this doesn't work, as an alternative you can use
fullpath("") to obtain the current disk + folder, and pass it to the function. fullpath("") gives you more information than curdir().
