[2.0] Setting the initial directory of OpenFileDialog to the desktop

[drattansingh]

Hi everyone!

I trying to set the initial directory of the open file dialog to the desktop could anyone help me?

OpenFileDialog fdlg = new OpenFileDialog();
fdlg.InitialDirectory = @"c:\";

How do I set it to the desktop without doing something like this:

fdlg.InitialDirectory = @"C:\Documents and Settings\Jennifer\Desktop";

The System.Environment.GetFolderPath function will do what you need:

MessageBox.Show(System.Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Desktop));
