How to get the path of "Common Files" directory

Hello,

is there a way to get the path of the directory "Common Files"
via .NET?

I was not able to find a proper function in class Path.

Thank you,
Norbert

The Environment NameSpace covers a lot of these special folders, e.g.:
Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.CommonProgramFiles);
