Hi there

I am doing a FindFirstFile ....etc.

But the result contains both RECYCLER  and  the
System Volume Information folders what do i need 
to sort those out, so that they won't be in my result. ??

Are they called the same no matter what language
the OP is using ??

Thanks in advance
Asger

You should check the resulting WIN32_FIND_DATA dwFileAttributes member
for having FILEATTRIBUTE_SYSTEM and/or FILEATTRIBUTE_HIDDEN set, and
eventually discard the found item. Have a look at the help files.

I can't tell you for the System Volume Information folder, but for the
Recycler, the answer is NO. (For instance, on the Win95 German system
here the folder name is 'Recycled'.)
