 I am writing a program for finding the particular file on windows. I have
 a file in C:\Windows\System32\FNTCACHE.DAT when I am finding for this
 boost::filesystem::exist() returns false. I checked the path, the file
 exist in system.

 I tried to check status though filesystem::status() funstion. It returns
 file_not_found. Please let me know why it is returning false and
 file_not_found ?

 I am working on Windows.

 Thanks
