So your problem is your application doesn't have proper permissions to access c:\users\inconnu\documents\ma music. Your first screenshot only shows the shortcut to your documents folder (which doesn't help much).

Your solution here is to either run your code with administrator privileges, figure out what user is going to run your app and assign proper permissions to the directory, or choose a different folder that doesn't require elevated permissions to access that directory.

You don't specify if this is a web app or if it as winforms/desktop app, only see "forms" as a tag. If it is a webforms app i would highly recommend you don't allow your web application access to your local directories in this manner, it becomes a security issue among other things.
