File path for the GAC assemblies

Scenario:
I use Visual Studio and Reflector quite often and one common thing I usually do with both is reference binaries from GAC.
So whats the best way to get the file path to GAC assemblies.

Solution:
Command line provide a special switch for the same. Here's the example.

Code:


cd C:\windows\Assembly
dir BinaryName.dll /s
