Perhaps it's a shell problem. If i use system() to get a dir of writefilename, it also fails:
Running. The system cannot find the path specified.But if i open a cmd.exe myself, dir worked fine.
Hmm. This is a long shot, but .... one possibility that occurred to me is that maybe somehow eui and euiw both got set with Program Compatibility to an older version of Windoze ... FAT32 can only deal with less than 66,000 files in a directory, and some really early versions of Windoze could only deal with FAT32 and its predecessors. So if Program Compatibility is set back far enough, it might hide the rest of the files from eui/euiw and whatever they invoke (such as command.com for the system() call).
