Problem with DirectoryExists() in windows [message #21852]

Hello all

When using DirectoryExists() with a drive name like

DirectoryExists("c:\\")

it returns false.

Revising the code I have seen that FindFirstFileW("C:\\") return INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE.

Perhaps a way to solve this would be check if directory name is a drive, so the changed DirectoryExists() could be:

bool DirectoryExists(const char *name) {
#if defined(PLATFORM_WIN32)
	if (GetDriveType(name) != DRIVE_NO_ROOT_DIR) 
	    return true;
#endif
	FindFile ff(name);
	return ff && ff.IsDirectory();
}

Best regards
Koldo
