The directory is on the same PC!

But you use the same Win32 API to find that out! – Aaaaaaaa Mar 08 '12 at 09:29

If you know that you do it using the Windows API in C and C++, then why do you ask how to do it? – Sebastian Mach Mar 08 '12 at 10:37

As for C#: To check wether you can access (read access at least) a network share / unc path with the current logged in user, do a IO.Directory.Exists(@"\\YourUNCShare")
For C++:
There's also this MSDN article, using PathFileExists which should do for C.

In C++/C# you can use the following windows API's NetShareEnum() and NetShareGetInfo()
Check MSDN for the details.
