I realize the odds of a user changing the Windows default of C:\Program Files is fairly slim, but stranger things have happened!

How can I get the correct path to Program Files from the system?

Answer 1

.NET provides an enumeration of 'special folders' for Program Files, My Documents, etc.

The code to convert from the enumeration to the actual path looks like this:

Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ProgramFiles)
