As seen from your question it appears that you want to find the path to the file properties.txt.
For this purpose if you put the this file in the folder where the executable file of the program is there, then Application.StartupPath property can be used to get the folder of the file as shown below

VB

Dim PropertiesPath as String
PropertiesPath = Application.StartupPath & "\" & "properties.txt"
