Click to expand...

the class you should use is System.IO.Directory

The methods are
GetLogicalDrives() retrieving all the disks
GetDirectories() retrieving all directories
GetFiles() retrieving all files

They all return an array of strings containing the names of the items.

with this information you can build what you want, using these Controls the treeview and the listview.

This should get you started, If you still need some help please let me know

There is a directory tree view control available for free (make sure you read the license, I don't know the details) on MSDN as part of the VBPowerPack. Do a search for VBPowerPack and you will be sure to find it.
