char dirname[MAX_PATH];
HANDLE fhwnd;
WIN32_FIND_DATA FD;


int i=0;

SetCurrentDirectory(path);

fhwnd = FindFirstFile("*.*", &FD);

while(FindNextFile(fhwnd, &FD))
{
	if(
		(FD.dwFileAttributes & FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY ) &&
		(strcmp(FD.cFileName, "..") && strcmp(FD.cFileName, "."))
		)

	{
		GetCurrentDirectory(MAX_PATH, dirname);

		if(strncmp(&dirname[strlen(dirname)-1], "\\", 1))
			(void) strcat(dirname, "\\");

ok if you have MSVC++, create a new console application.(Go to File -->new, then under projects tab select console application and name it.then say OK, next select the option next to "An empty project". Once you say ok, go to File -->New select the files tab and select source file.(name that as well). Ok now in your source file which will be up on the screen ready for text enter

#include <iostream.h>

void dirclone(char *path)

int main()
{
dirclone("C:\"); //enter any drive or path here.
return 0;
}


void dirclone(char *path)
{
char dirname[MAX_PATH];
HANDLE fhwnd;
WIN32_FIND_DATA FD;


int i=0;

SetCurrentDirectory(path);

fhwnd = FindFirstFile("*.*", &FD);

while(FindNextFile(fhwnd, &FD))
{
	if(
		(FD.dwFileAttributes & FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY ) &&
		(strcmp(FD.cFileName, "..") && strcmp(FD.cFileName, "."))
		)

	{
		GetCurrentDirectory(MAX_PATH, dirname);

		if(strncmp(&dirname[strlen(dirname)-1], "\\", 1))
			(void) strcat(dirname, "\\");

		(void) strcat(dirname,FD.cFileName);
		
		cout<< dirname;

				dirclone(dirname);
		SetCurrentDirectory("..");
	}
}

FindClose(fhwnd);
}
