That is also due to FindFirstFile.
MSDN says:
You cannot use root directories as the *lpFileName* input string for
*FindFirstFile*—with or without a trailing backslash. If you want to see
files or get the attributes of a root directory, do the following:
- To see files in a root directory, you can use "C:\*" and step through
the directory by using *FindNextFile*.
- To get the attributes of a root directory, use *GetFileAttributes*.
