Well... If you don't even know the path of the directory relative to the root 
of the drive... I hope your user is not in any hurry. Scanning a single drive 
is potentially very time-consuming, scanning them all will be awful 
(especially if your user has mounted, say, a huge network drive...).

Don't you have any other, smarter way of finding out the directory? Like 
reading a configuration file or an entry in the registry?

Cheers,
