Console.WriteLine(System.IO.File.Exists(@"C:
\AUTOEXEC.BAT").ToString()); //true
Console.WriteLine(System.IO.Directory.Exists(@"C:
\WINDOWS").ToString()); //true
Console.WriteLine(System.IO.Directory.Exists(@"C:
\AUTOEXEC.BAT").ToString()); //false
Console.WriteLine(System.IO.File.Exists(@"C:\WINDO WS").ToString()); //
false

So check if the file exists, and if not, check if the directory exists
(Important to add that step, don't just assume as the path may be
invalid).

Incidently, Console.WriteLine(System.IO.Directory.Exists(@"C:\ WINDOWS
\").ToString());
will work as well, so no need to worry about trailing \ characters.
