Do you mean not mounted? I think you can't access a folder that is not shared.	[reply]

If you are an admin (or connect to the computer as a domain or local admin) you could use the admin shares: \\Server\c$ == C:\ on the Server. You should be able to query the properties as if it was a local folder then. To connect as a different user you might use Win32::FileOp::Connect(). Jenda	[reply]
