    This is how I find the file path of almost any program


    There are many cases where I need to find the file path of a program, such as paint, to pass in the variable to another program. And the location can be different, depending on the windows setup. But i've found a way that's fairly reliable, and want to share it with othersTo find a program's file path,* Open the program* Open task manager and find the program in the list of apps or running processes* Right click the program* Choose 'Open file location'This method has helped me a lot. In many cases, forum information is outdated or not leading to the right place, as is the case for mspaint. So

    :)
