Find the folder name and path

[swetham]

I have created a exe such that when the exe runs, if we right click on any folder name," Run exe" context menu will be coming and in "run exe" there is another exe which should be run. Now in "Run exe" form load i need to get the foldr name and path on which it is clicked.

Can anyone help?

IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(Application.StartupPath)

Suppose if my exe is in "c:\Tenp\ex.exe" and if i right on a folder(def) in "E:\abc\def" i need to get the path as "E:\abc\def

Are you saying that the other.exe's path is unknown?

Dim OtherExe As String() = IO.Directory.GetFiles("E:\", "other.exe", IO.SearchOption.AllDirectories)
If OtherExe.Length = 1 Then
     'Found, unique
ElseIf OtherExe.Length = 0 Then
     'Not found
     Exit Sub
Else
     'Found, not unique
End If

For Each theExe aAs String in OtherExe
     MsgBox(IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(theExe))
Next

Hope this helps.

"if we right click on any folder name"

Is this happening in Windows Explorer? Could you show some code for how you get the popup to appear?
