Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hi all,

I recently built a small prototype smart device project with C# under
VS2005 SP1, and was surprised to see that a 'trivial' statement
did not work to be able to verify the existence of a file that I had created

i.e. System.IO.File.Exists(filename)

I verified the existence of the file by getting a command prompt window and
issuing a dir command. i.e. dir c:\train.zip

Can someone please let me know what can be wrong?

Thanks,

Carlos.
