I can't write comments sorry. What are you using the path for? Where is the application stored? This will get you there??

string path = "C:\\Windows\system32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local";

Provided C: is the name of the drive.

You really need to expand on your question a little bit.

Is this a duplicate question??
