Using GetFiles function with the following.

Here is code that I am trying to get working.

Public Class Form1

    Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form

Private strPath As String = "\\10.1.1.106\cjdev$"

    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Dim rolesArray As String() = {"managers", "executives"}
        Try
            'Set the principal to a new generic principal.
            Thread.CurrentPrincipal = _
                New GenericPrincipal(New GenericIdentity( _
                "administrator", "password"), rolesArray)

        Catch secureException As SecurityException
            Debug.WriteLine("{0}: Permission to set Principal " & _
               "is denied.", secureException.GetType().Name)
        End Try

        Dim threadPrincipal As IPrincipal = Thread.CurrentPrincipal
        Console.WriteLine( _
            "Name: {0}" & vbCrLf & "IsAuthenticated:" & _
            " {1}" & vbCrLf & "AuthenticationType: {2}", _
            threadPrincipal.Identity.Name, _
            threadPrincipal.Identity.IsAuthenticated, _
            threadPrincipal.Identity.AuthenticationType)

        Debug.WriteLine(System.Threading.Thread.CurrentPrincipal)
        Dim strFile As String, SelectedItem As ListViewItem
        Dim thisFile As FileInfo
        Dim thisDir As New DirectoryInfo(strPath)

        For Each thisFile In thisDir.GetFiles("*.wav")
            SelectedItem = ListView1.Items.Add(thisFile.Name, 0)
            SelectedItem.SubItems.Add(Now())
        Next

    End Sub

So, with the code on the above mentioned question, I need to make the following work.

I need to connect to a HIDDEN share and impersonating authentication on a server. List the files withing that share and have access to them.

PLEASE do not suggest unhiding the share. This IS NOT an option due to basic security requirements, I need to somehow get this solution to work.

Better yet, if you can get it to "prompt" for user name and password, that would be awesome.

Any ideas?

Try looking into the NetworkCredentials type. It may be helpful here.
