Synopsis

This class provides many static methods for working with filesystem directories. Most of the methods behave as expected. GetLogicalDrives() returns an array of all of the drives of a system in the format “k:”, in which “k” is the drive letter. GetParent() returns the parent path of the specified path, and GetDirectoryRoot() returns the root directory of the specified path.
