Default directory when using WorkingDirectory when using ProcessStartInfo

What is the default directory for WorkingDirectory if it is not defined when using ProcessStartInfo?

System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo startInfo = new System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo();
startInfo.FileName = @"cscript.exe";

//startInfo.WorkingDirectory = "C:\NotDefined";

The WorkingDirectory, if not set, will be the default %SystemRoot%\system32.

The function of the property depends however on the UseShellExecute flag:

MSDN:
When the UseShellExecute property is false, gets or sets the working directory for the process to be started.
When UseShellExecute is true, gets or sets the directory that contains the process to be started.

You can use the startInfo.WorkingDirectory property to set it.

If the property is not set, the default working directory is %SYSTEMROOT%\system32.
