denied accessing path string[] list1 = Directory.GetFiles(C_Drive, *.exe, SearchOption.AllDirectorie

Hei all, I am not able to iterate through my drive ... is it a security problem ? I already opened VS as Admin ERROR Message: 
Unhandled exception. System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'C:\Documents and Settings' is denied.
   at System.IO.Enumeration.FileSystemEnumerator`1.CreateRelativeDirectoryHandle(ReadOnlySpan`1 relativePath, String fullPath)
   at System.IO.Enumeration.FileSystemEnumerator`1.MoveNext()

   at System.Collections.Generic.EnumerableHelpers.ToArray[T](IEnumerable`1 source)

You will need to handle the exception and skip things you don't have access to. That particular folder is not really a folder - it's a special "Junction Point" used by the OS.
