I need open Pictures folder using explorer, which is located in the folder with my project.

That is, at the moment my project is located on the path C:\Users\Zgoly\source\repos\Project\bin\Debug, if I put the folder with the project on the "D" drive, the project path becomes "D:\Debug". The program should also find and open explorer with Pictures folder.

Code:

C#

private void bunifuThinButton26_Click_1(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Process.Start("./Scripts");
}

Pictures path:

C:\Users\Zgoly\source\repos\Project\bin\Debug\Pictures

What I have tried:

I tried to do it with Process.Start but it didn't work.

To specifically open an Explorer window, you must tell Process that is what you want!
Try:

C#

Process.Start("Explorer.exe", Path.Combine(Application.StartupPath, "Pictures"));

As I said last time you asked this (but with less detail):

Do be aware that if you are planning on changing images in that folder in your app, it's a poor idea: Where Should I Store My Data?[^]
