SYNOPSIS

BOOL PathIsDirectoryA

  LPCSTR lpszPath
 )

DESCRIPTION

PARAMS

lpszPath [In] Path to check.

RETURNS

FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY if lpszPath exists and can be read (See Notes) FALSE if lpszPath is invalid or not a directory.

Although this function is prototyped as returning a BOOL, it returns FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY for success. This means that code such as:
if (PathIsDirectoryA("c:\windows\") == TRUE)
...
will always fail.
