And what do you mean by folders that cannot be accessed? Since when are they not able to be accessed? I access them all of the time. I am a typical user who accesses files & folders everyday the same way.
So you are telling me they cannot be accessed and I encourage you to put a program on the market and explain that to those who access their folders every day and your program does not allow them to access it. They will read your response and quit your program and continue to access their folders as usual and you will not hear from them again because they do not want to spend their time explaining to you they are able to access their folders without your program. If it causes me problems it will cause someone else problems and I am not going to explain to them do not use those folders with my program or block it and give them a dialog stating it cannot be accessed. I liked the idea of recursive but it does not work good for me.
