No, I was referring to the attachment in my post.

So the *.* vs *. do really matter.

Yes, the search pattern greatly influences indeed the amount of file and folder names that FindFirstFile will return. However, note that the *. pattern does not filter out names such as ".Folder" or "..File".

If (m_WFD.dwFileAttributes And (FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY Or FILE_ATTRIBUTE_REPARSE_POINT)) And Asc(m_WFD.cFileName) <> vbDot Then

In the original code:

If (m_WFD.dwFileAttributes And (FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY Or FILE_ATTRIBUTE_REPARSE_POINT)) = FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY Then

the highlighted part served to ensure that only regular folders were processed. Junctions, symbolic links and mounted folders all have the FILE_ATTRIBUTE_REPARSE_POINT flag set, so in order to skip them, the expression must include the highlighted portion above.

Regarding the testing of the "." and ".." entries, code that utilizes the Asc(W) function fails to take into account file & folder names that begins with the dot character. Such names (which are more like extension-only names) are legal and are actually not really that rare (at least in my system).
