Hi Richard,
Try running your console app as administrator outside of VS. This really 
can have nothing to do with boost::filesystem as the first API call is 
'::FindFirstFileW'. So it is the operating system that is limiting the 
access to your app. I did a little searching but could find nothing 
about VS settings. I do always run VS as administrator though. It keeps 
such things from happening.
Best, Dan.
