args is NOT good enough for you? As in static void Main(string[]
args)...

So it's, what, a WinForms app? You might just be able to modify Program.cs
and add string[] args to Main(). Since Program is a static class, you'd just
need to expose this array as a property and then you can reference it from
your form.

Well, he said it wasn't a console app (and failed to tell us what it WAS).
WinForms apps don't have the args argument in Program.cs, at least not the
default Program.cs generated by Visual Studio.

string[] args = System.Environment.GetCommandLineArgs();

args now holds the name of the command currently executing as the first
element of the args array, and each parameter as an additional element in
the array.

Do you know offhand if it's the entire path or just the file name? If not,
I'll just test...one of these days.

It should be possible to add it.
