Finding the current executing directory

This may sound pretty trivial but it's been driving me nuts; how does one
get the full directory path of the executing application. Using
Environment.CurrentDirectory returns c:\WINNT\System32 - the obviously wrong
path :-(.

This is a Windows development issue so HttpRequest.PhysicalApplicationPath
does not apply. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

...found it; System.IO.Directory.GetCurrentDirectory.

Hi,
May be, Application.StartupPath is what you are looking for? It is in the
System.Windows.Forms namespace. Check it out...
