Dear Ms.Monica,

First and foremost, thank you for your cooperation, I believe the way I introduced my query was unclear.

I know this Class well, and I use it now, my issue is" Now my application needs to scan whether a specific folder is exist or not in the system, this folder belong to "Dropbox", so I have tried to create function to scan, then I used "Environment.SpecialFolder" to get in and scan whether "Dropbox.exe" exist or not, now I could Successfully to see the the "exe" and i use "System.Diagnostics.Process.Start" to open the dropbox folder on new window, Now, i need to create a folder inside "Dropbox" folder which opened in the window, useing "Directory.CreateDirectory". so what do i need how can i access the path for this window which opened like"c:/......"

Please, if my query not clear I can clear more

thank you again,

Hi ModyEng,

Welcome to the MSDN forum.

It seems that you want to get the path of a running process. If so, you can try the sample below.

        private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            Process proc = Process.Start("notepad");
            string fullPath = proc.MainModule.FileName;    
        }

If I misunderstood you, please let me know.

Have a nice day.
