Hi all, I am trying to cycle through the directories, sub directories and files on a hard drive one at a time
and list them in a label just as an antivirus program might. I can list the contents of "My Documents" folder or some unprotected random folder of choosing but run into security when trying "C:\" or even "C:\ Documents and Settings". Clarify: I want to be able to select the drive of choice from those available on the machine press a button and have the program to cycle through each directorie, sub directory and file on the hard drive listing each in a label one at a time. here is what I have so far.

Code: Select all

    Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        ComboBox1.Items.AddRange(System.IO.Directory.GetLogicalDrives)
       



         For Each foundFile As String In My.Computer.FileSystem.GetFiles(
          My.Computer.FileSystem.SpecialDirectories.MyDocuments)

        ListBox1.Items.Add(foundFile)
        Next
    End Sub

Thanks in advance

Do you know my heads not in VB mode right now, completely forgotten how to do directory searches :lol:

Until someone else replies, this may help you. It contains source code for a search application using threads which you will want to use so the application doesn't lock up.

I was going to give you some source code but I can only search entire c drive, rather than picking a drive to search from. If I come up with something later I'll let you know.

For now I guess your best friend is Google
