Examples

The following example shows how to use Environment.SpecialFolder with the Environment.GetFolderPath method to get the System directory.

// Sample for the Environment::GetFolderPath method
using namespace System;
int main()
{
   Console::WriteLine();
   Console::WriteLine( "GetFolderPath: {0}", Environment::GetFolderPath( Environment::SpecialFolder::System ) );
}

/*
This example produces the following results:

GetFolderPath: C:\WINNT\System32
*/
// Sample for the Environment.GetFolderPath method
using System;

class Sample
{
    public static void Main()
    {
    Console.WriteLine();
    Console.WriteLine("GetFolderPath: {0}",
                 Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.System));
    }
}
/*
This example produces the following results:

GetFolderPath: C:\WINNT\System32
*/
// Sample for the Environment.GetFolderPath method
open System

printfn $"\nGetFolderPath: {Environment.GetFolderPath Environment.SpecialFolder.System}"
            
// This example produces the following results:
//     GetFolderPath: C:\WINNT\System32
' Sample for the Environment.GetFolderPath method
Class Sample
   Public Shared Sub Main()
      Console.WriteLine()
      Console.WriteLine("GetFolderPath: {0}", Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.System))
   End Sub
End Class
'
'This example produces the following results:
'
'GetFolderPath: C:\WINNT\System32
'

Remarks

The system special folders are folders such as Program Files, Programs, System, or Startup, which contain common information. Special folders are set by default by the system, or explicitly by the user, when installing a version of Windows.

The Environment.GetFolderPath method returns the locations associated with this enumeration. The locations of these folders can have different values on different operating systems, the user can change some of the locations, and the locations are localized.

For more information about special folders, see the KNOWNFOLDERID constants in the Windows documentation.
