process

I can get the active window's process, but I have no idea how to get the location of that process, as far as I can see the process object only has ProcessName property which just returns like chrome instead of C:\pathtochrome\chrome.exe

How can I get the latter because I'm trying to get the process's File Description attribute, but I need the full path to it.
