regular expression for run files

Question

in my application i use

ManagementEventWatcher watcher = new ManagementEventWatcher(query);
ManagementBaseObject e = watcher.WaitForNextEvent();
string name = ((ManagementBaseObject)e["TargetInstance"])["Name"].ToString();

"name" is now "runfile.exe". when i use it later on, i need it without the ending: ".exe", so i used

name = Regex.Replace(name, ".exe", "");

my questione is, could there be run files which do not end in ".exe"? what about ".bat"? i am only concerned about files the user run himself to load the program, not installations and settings. could there be ".exe" in the middle of a run file name? if someone could just write a regular expression for run files on windows it would be grate. thank you so much.

You can use Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(fileName) method.
