How to get the users certain directory for apps

Question

I am trying to make it so it finds the current user on the pc so that when i put (for example USERPROFILE) it can find the right directory to the exe

        private void siticoneImageButton3_Click_1(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
           Process.Start("C:\\Users\\USERPROFILE\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\lunarclient\\Lunar Client.exe");
        }

[This](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1240373/how-do-i-get-the-current-username-in-net-using-c) should help you. — Eduardo Coltri, Nov 28 '20 at 00:01

You should be able to use the Environment.UserName property like so:

Process.Start($"C:\\Users\\{Environment.UserName}\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\lunarclient\\Lunar Client.exe");

You could try using Environment.UserName or Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.LocalApplicationData) to get the path to (...)\AppData\Local directory.
