Getting Downloads Folder in C#? [duplicate]

Answer 1

The easiest way is:

Process.Start("shell:Downloads");

If you only need to get the current user's download folder path, you can use this:

I extracted it from @PacMani 's code.

 // using Microsoft.Win32;
string GetDownloadFolderPath() 
{
    return Registry.GetValue(@"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders", "{374DE290-123F-4565-9164-39C4925E467B}", String.Empty).ToString();
}
