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.
