Try using this properties:

// Init app dir
Application.StartupPath

// User dir
Application.UserAppDataPath

You can use Environment.CurrentDirectory

"Gets and sets the fully qualified path of the current directory; that is, the directory from which this process starts."

Hi Timbo87,
             my file can be located anywhere in the harddrive. How do i get that

Do you mean you need to search the hard drive for that file?

Yes,
    is there a single command in console or windows application that retrives the full path of a file by specifying just the file name.

Thank you.
