The api FindFirstFile returns different error code when the network is
disabled on XP and Vista.
disabled on XP and Vista.
On XP we get a error code
ERROR_NETWORK_UNREACHABLE 1231
and on Vista we get
ERROR_BAD_NETPATH 53
can any one point why microsoft came up with the brilliant idea of
changing the error codes of the function which they say are supported
on Vista and XP .

What do you mean by "network disabled"?

Undoubtedly these error codes are just what are returned from the
network layer - which has been substantially changed in Vista.
Why is it an issue to you?

NtQueryDirectoryFile has also changed. The main difference is that
FileBothDirectoryInformation is no longer used and
FileIdBothDirectoryInformation is used instead.
Changes are everywhere in Vista!
