[R] Finding a folder at the root level of an unknown drive

[Dennis Fisher]

Colleagues,

R 2.9.0
Windows XP

Task is as follows:
A folder FOLDERNAME exists at the root level of some drive, e.g., E: 
\FOLDERNAME
I want to search all possible drives to find the location of this  
folder but I don't know what drives exist or are mounted.

The command:
	dir(path="C:/", pattern=FOLDERNAME)
happens to be successful.

However, the command:
	dir(path="C:/", pattern=FOLDERNAME)
results is a pop-up message:
	"There is no disk in the drive.  Please insert a disk into drive D:"

Can I avoid the pop-up message?  i.e., can I execute a command that  
silently reports only successes?

Thanks in advance.

Dennis
