They used to use stream (query exists) but something was flaky there on some

cannot be used to test for root directory
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.
OK .. thanks. I wasn't aware of the underlying implementation. Bit of a
nuisance in this case.
