System Volume Informationexception with "System Volume Information". Obviously it's a region I'm not supposed to access so I'm trying to filter it out by checking for the folder name before trying to use it: If Folder.Name <> "System Volume Information" Then GetFolderDetails(Folder) End If But for some reason the if statement is not matching and I'm getting a run time exception within my GetFolderDetails because it is trying to access the files in that folder.

question? I notice that I can access the 'System Volumne Information' folder on my stystem drive but not on any of my other local hard drives where I get an 'Access Denied'. Wrap your GetFolderDetails(Folder) call in a try catch and handle the exception.

There can be a number of folders you can't access on any volume. Even the System Restore folder can have a different name than System Volume Information. So you should trap any exception while accessing the file system. In your case, you can use something like this: Try GetFolderDetails(Folder) Catch ex As UnauthorizedAccessException 'Do something, like maintain a list of inaccesible folders. End Try Regards.
