Well an empty path is considered to be the root of your file system which under Windows is the parent of all volumes. Passing the actual path to the directory you are interested to find the files or other directories in will help a lot to get the information you want. Investigating the error cluster of the function may also help to uncover things like a bad path name. A sinmple type will already make the function fail as it can't find the directory you told it to enumerate. Also make sure you have actually read access to the directory you want to list. Windows security can cause some pretty strange errors sometimes if you are not aware of it. Last but not least make sure you don't specify a pattern input if you are not interested in a specific file ending or such.
