Why is there garbage in my TCHAR, even after ZeroMemory()?

I have inherited the following line of code:
TCHAR temp[300];
GetModuleFileName(NULL, temp, 300);
However, this fails as the first 3 bytes are filled with garbage values (always the same ones though, -128, -13, 23, in that order). I said, well fine and changed it to:
TCHAR temp[300];
ZeroMemory(temp, 300);
GetModuleFileName(NULL, temp, 300);
but the garbage values persisted! Can someone explain what is going on and how to fix it?
