I have created a system tray application. From there I'm trying to get this path:

"C:\Users<username>\AppData\Local"

But instead I'm getting this path:

"C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local"

I'm using this code:

Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.LocalApplicationData

I have tried creating other applications and there it is working but only in system tray it is giving me default user.

Because you aren't impersonating the logged in user? – Jeremy Lakeman Jul 16 '20 at 05:37
Thanks for the reply. But can you please tell me what is standard way to achieve that. – Vivek Jul 16 '20 at 05:48
You haven't provided much context, I was assuming that you had a background service and were trying to also add a system tray icon. – Jeremy Lakeman Jul 16 '20 at 07:02
