If you do a windows app you can do this.
You can do this on your serverside files in ASP.NET as well, only not with a messagebox.
System.IO.DirectoryInfo DI = new System.IO.DirectoryInfo("Image");
MessageBox.Show(DI.FullName);
With this you got power to use the folder as you want in code.
You can see creation time and Lastaccess and so on.
