How do all of the virus scanners find all of the folders on your computer to scan? Is there like a master list pointing to all of the folders, or is it something else? Cause I am tryin to make a simple program that just counts up all of the files on the C: drive, bt cant think of how to access all of the folders. -btw runnin xp home

There are several ways of doing this. The windows API has various functions associated with finding folders and tracking files (as well as getting the next file in a folder, etc).
This should answer all of your questions, just read around a bit

edit:
if you go to the bottom of the page, where it says 'see also', it contains more info which is more pertinent to what you want. It's really just a matter of finding the right windows api functions to call (this question might've been better suited to the windows programming forum).

If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
oh sorry, didnt think something like this would be in the faq, thank you darkness
