How to read custom config section in app.config in c#

Question

I want to read following custom section from app.config:

<StartupFolders>    
   <Folders name="a">
      <add folderType="Inst" path="c:\foo" />
      <add folderType="Prof" path="C:\foo1" />      
   </Folders>
   <Folders name="b">
      <add folderType="Inst" path="c:\foo" />
      <add folderType="Prof" path="C:\foo1" />      
   </Folders> 
</StartupFolders>

I found this link, but it does not say for multiple <Folders> tag. Please help?
