GetDirectories for Empty Drive

[G Dean Blake]

I have a directoryInfo named Folder with a name property of "A:\". I'm then
trying to loop through and expand it a level.

But when I say:
For Each myFolder in Folder.GetDirectories...

A series of dialog boxes are displayed saying the drive is empty (it is) and
an exception is thrown "drive is empty". The dialog boxes appear before I
get control in the catch Statement.

This happens for empty CD drivs too.

How can I test for this without getting an exception and all of those dialog
boxes?
Thanks,
Gary

That gets rid of the error dialogs but I still get an exception.
Thanks,

You may want to put the line in a 'Try...Catch' block.
