Can I get a handle to the root of logical drive?
-
Hi I am interested to get a handle to the directory that consists the root of a logical drive. E.g. I want a handle on C:\ I noticed that FileFirstFile will refuse to give me back such handle. Also do time attributes (i.e. creation, modification, last access) have any meaning for the root directory? They certainly have meaning for the subdirectories but what about the root. Thanks for any given help Simple questions...

The
GetFileAttributesExfunction retrieves attributes for the specified file or directory. Probably what you want to know. -

Simply use:
HANDLE h = CreateFile("\\\\.\\C:", ...);
