Assuming some sort of recursive procedure that gets an FSO folder object
passed as an argument...
.
..
...
Call walkFolder(someRootFolder)
...
..
.
sub walkTree(objFolder)

    if objFolder.Name = "System Volume Information" then
        exit sub
    end if

    for each file in objFolder.Files
        'blahblah
    next

    for each folder in objFolder.SubFolders
        Call walkTree(folder)
    next

end sub
