Hello,
I hope someone can help me with this problem - I've
searched high and low for an answer, but to no avail.
I need to be able to programatically enumerate the
contents of the "System Volume Information" Folder on
Windows 2k/XP from a typical Windows/C++/MFC application.
Of course, when I make the attempt with
FindFirstFile/FindNextFile, I get error code 5, "access
denied." This makes sense to me given the default
permissions of this folder, but HERE'S the catch. I'm
aware of at least one other application that *can* do it.
And I have no idea how they do it (of course they won't
tell me <g>).
The application I'm referring to is a standard Windows
app - it does not run as a system service or anything
like that. I suspect that there's some security trick to
accessing this folder in (perhaps impersonating the
system account?) but I really need a hand in figuring out
how this might be done.
Any ideas or comments would be VERY welcome. And I really
appreciate it!!
