Thank you Santhosh. I have all these problems because I'd like to write a tool in metro style rather then toy-app. The tool should have access to the whole filesystem's structure (something like file manager). I just couldn't agree with the general asumption that a win8 user cannot access to its own system. The user shouldn't even know what is a filesystem when using a Metro app in Win8.
I think there is a solution to get access to filesystem programmatically. Just think about FileOpenPicker which have access to the most files and can be used by a normal user. Why one 'metro' class can browse filesystem and other class cannot do this (due to security reasons?)
