Use Environment.Get FolderPath():

string programFilesFol der
= Environment.Get FolderPath(Envi ronment.Special Folder.ProgramF iles);
string outlookExpressP ath
= Path.Combine(pr ogramFilesFolde r, @"Outlook Express\msimn.e xe");

hth,

btw, aren't "@"%programfile s%" implies the "C:\Program Files" already?

I can't find any SpecialFolder enum for that...

So maybe just remove anything after the "\" character.

Try :

Console.WriteLi ne(Environment. GetEnvironmentV ariable("System Root"));
Console.WriteLi ne(Environment. GetEnvironmentV ariable("WinDir "));
Console.WriteLi ne(Environment. GetEnvironmentV ariable("Progra mFiles"));

That might help.

Cheers,

Alternatively you could use:

Console.WriteLi ne(Environment. ExpandEnvironme ntVariables("%S ystemRoot%"));
Console.WriteLi ne(Environment. ExpandEnvironme ntVariables("%P rogramFiles%")) ;
Console.WriteLi ne(Environment. ExpandEnvironme ntVariables("%W INDIR%"));

In the query (%***%), the *** part is case insensitive.

I hope that helps.
