FindFirstFile not listing folders or files from "Documents and Settings" folder

[EDN Admin]

Im using code based from this webpage: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa365200(v=VS.85).aspx

but when i try to list the files and folders in cocuments and Settings folder nothing comes up.

There are other "special" folders that dont work either, like "My Documents".
any ideas?
