Get Folder from which application was called

I'm writing a program to be called from a folder's context menu that should create a folder in that folder. How do I get the path of that folder, rather than the directory the executable resides in?

It is in the args. My problem was that calling the application from a shortcut left the current directory at the executable path. Instead I'll just make the application available on path, and then the correct path will be passed in.

Use Environment.CurrentDirectory or AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory to get the path of current working directory.
