Are you looking for WIN32_FIND_DATA in conjunction with FindFirstFile and FindNextFile?

Not exactly... however..could it be elaborated a bit on how to get the first, next or last file from a drive, where the drive letter is known?

Based on what criteria?

FindFirstFile/FindFirstFileEx/FindNextFile should do that. Just pass the appropriate filter; I guess it's "X:\*" :)

As i have already said the criteria is we have the drive letter. That's all.... now we need to get all the files and folders within it.

Use the FindFirstFile()/FindNextFile() pair.
