Okay, I need to get every audio file on a hard drive, and move them to a single location sorted by the first letter of the artists name, artists name, album, and song title.
I have the code to do that, and it worked on one of the hard drives I'm organizing files from, but the other two contain secured folders and files, and I get an exception when I try and get access to them, and my program justs stops and won't continue.
I'm using something like the following -
public System.Collections.Generic.List<string> GetFiles(string StartingDirectory)
-
{
-
System.Collections.Generic.List<string> Extensions = new System.Collections.Generic.List<string>();
-
Extensions.Add("mp3");
-
//More Extensions
-
-
System.Collections.Generic.List<string> Files = new System.Collections.Generic.List<string>();
-
foreach (string Extension in Extensions)
-
{
-
foreach (string File in System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(StartingDirectory, "*." + Extension, System.IO.SearchOption.AllDirectories)) Files.Add(File);
-
}
-
return Files;
-
}
-
Any help would be appreciated, and sooner the better.

You could run the application in admin mode (not sure that would help though) other than that I cannot think of a way since the Windows installation has restricted folders & files that aren't accessible (for security purposes)
Thank you, I'm assuming it worked since it's actually running longer then 1 second. I'm still going through all the files, but it's moved about 250 files that it wasn't before.
Thanks you again.

Another option you might want to consider is catching your exceptions. In general, code that can generate exceptions should be placed within a try/catch block. This block can surround any code you wish, so there would be nothing stopping you from doing something like... - foreach (string folder in foldersToProcess)
-
{
-
try
-
{
-
// Do whatever...
-
}
-
catch (Exception exception)
-
{
-
someLog.AddMessage(string.Format("Could not process folder, '{0}', reason: {1}", folder, exception.Message));
-
}
-
}
That might help your program recover more gracefully from exceptions :)
Okay, I hadn't had a chance to reply yet, but it turns out that giving it administrator privileges doesn't help, the only reason it was working for a bit was because I accidentally set it to search only the top directory and not all of the directories.

I have a program that must look in in certain folder and take out every file
