Correct<br />
But remember if it is running under someone elses it may fail...<br />
If this is for your use only... no problem that I can see

I have a two part question. If I am trying to access a non shared drive on a server such as<br />
\\server\c$<br />
What is this called (the c$). Also it would appear that I can't programatically create a new directory at <br />
\\server\c$\newDirectory<br />
<br />
Obviously if I went in and created a new directory and then shared it I could access it like<br />
\\server\sharedDirectory\n<wbr />ewDirector<wbr />y<br />
<br />
But I would rather be able to deal with the more ambiguous case using the c$ (I can't for the life of me remember what that is reffered to).<br />
<br />
So anyway I am trying to programatically check to see if a directory exists at<br />
\\server\c$\directoryInQue<wbr />stion<br />
, if it doesn't I want to create a new directory at the location<br />
\\server\c$\directoryInQue<wbr />stion<br />
<br />
Any help (and the term that is used to describe drive access using that $) would be fantastic.<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

Development in most programming languages is frequently done with an editor or integrated development environment (IDE). An IDE is a software application that provide comprehensive facilities to computer programmers for software development. An IDE normally consists of a source code editor, build automation tools and a debugger. XCode, Visual Studio, Adobe Dreamweaver and Eclipse are some of the more popular development tools, but an editor or IDE can be anything from simple text editors to sophisticated programs.

Servers are computing devices that are similar to desktop computers in that they have the same basic components, but are significantly different in size, configuration and purpose. Servers are usually accessed over a network, and many run unattended, without a computer monitor, input device, audio hardware or USB interfaces. Many servers do not have a graphical user interface (GUI), and are configured and managed remotely. Servers typically include hardware redundancy such as dual power supplies, RAID disk systems, and ECC memory, along with extensive pre-boot memory testing and verification. Critical components might be hot swappable, and to guard against overheating, servers might have more powerful fans or use water cooling.
