listing folders and files on windows 7?

[gafferuk]

Im creating a folder and file list for a music application im writing.

At the moment im using code from this webpage here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...(v=VS.85).aspx

it uses FindFirstFile.

Problem is it wont list the contents of "special" folders like "Documents and settings" and "My Documents".

What can I do, completly stuck.

You can't read them, because they are not normal folder but junction points, pointing to a location in the Users folder. They have the file attributes set to FILE_ATTRIBUTE_REPARSE_POINT and FILE_ATTRIBUTE_SYSTEM and the ACL’s are set to "Everyone Deny Read".
