Hey again

Jhonny has supplied me with a get file method that seems to work because first it stopped when trying to access the C:\documents and settings but after I had fixed that it now stops at the trash bin because access is denied. How might I skip the trash bin from my search subfolders?

Hope I asked the question correctly......:)

Actualy as I go on and fix one after the other it seems that I need to somehow set the program to be able to have access to the entire file system. How do I do this....?

I have set the security one click to full trust program and besides that I'm lost.

Solution 1

Handle the error in a Try/Catch block?

The Recycle Bin is not what it appears to be. Open a command prompt and type

CD \$Recycyle.Bin
DIR /A

Now open Start -> Run and type C:\$Recycle.Bin and compare what you see.

Explorer lists files in the location whereas the command prompt show you what is really there, directories.

The Recycle Bin is an extension to Explorer that shows you information in a format that goes beyond the simple file/folder relationship. What it shows you is interpreted from the data that's in the $Recycle.Bin folder.

Yes, I'm familiar with FilePermissions. No, they won't get you into those folders. You cannot give yourself (and therefore any code you launch) more permissions than you already have.
