How do i know in which drive windows is installed

[Iftekhar Naim]

i need to invoke a windows method. For this i call an exe file from windows\system32 directory. But i need to know in which drive winodws is installed. I think it is not wise to hard-code my code -"c:\windows\system32". So can any one tell me how do i know this path from my program in run time? Thanks

I use System.Environment.ExpandEnvironmentVariables to expand %windir% e.g. string MediaDir = System.Environment.ExpandEnvironmentVariables ( @"%windir%\Media\" ) ;

Look for the Windir system variable in the environment variables... System.Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("windir") will return the string where Windows is installed :)

A better solution is System.Environment.GetFolderPath( System.Environment.SpecialFolder.System ).
