How to set the output to a project directory (now the .exe is being saved in C:/windows/system32 which is not a good thing)?

That is very weird! The exe gets placed in the current working directory (unless you tell it to do otherwise), so why are you running the command in C:/windows/system32?

Personally, I always run the cl command in the project directory, and that's where the output goes; but if you really must place it somewhere else, you can use:

/Fe<file> name executable file

I assume you can specify a full path, though I've never tried it.

See cl -help for a good usage screen.

Am I right that the lib folder from the project can be included for cl compiler on its command-line?

Yes. Use /LIBPATH:path

See link /? for other linktime options that can be supplied to cl
