Starting application on start-up, using the wrong path to load

Question

I am using registry key to set my application to load on Windows Startup(after a user login). My Code:

RegistryKey RegKey = Registry.LocalMachine;
RegKey = R         


        

Answer 1

Directory.SetCurrentDirectory() can be used to set your working directory when the app starts. EXE path can be retrieved using Application.ExecutablePath.

Put them together:

var fi = new FileInfo(Application.ExecutablePath);
Directory.SetCurrentDirectory(fi.DirectoryName);
