How to determine path of exlorer.exe in .NET ?

Question

I need to determine the path of the original explorer.exe on both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows in a C# project. What is the most reliable way to achieve that?

Answer 1

I would use the environment variable "windir" as explorer.exe is located in there

string windir = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("windir");
string explorerPath = windir + @"\explorer.exe";
