How do I 'navigate' to a path in C#?

Okay, I'm making my C# application and it uses the open file dialog. The only problem is that when the user navigates to another path it will then use that path as it's defualt path. I want to be able to navigate to the programs 'working directory'. Is that possible? Thanks in advance :

Hello again, Josh. For this one I think what you want is to set the InitialDirectory of the OpenFileDialog to Application.StartupPath, or whatever folder path you like.
