Maybe just trying to create a file (a text file) would be sufficient. You could
kill it if you created it.

But there are different levels of rights, too. Read Only, Read/Write,
Read/Write/Create, Read/Write/Create/Delete. You may want to test all the
things you need to use.

I can use a custom function "PathExists" (courtesy of jwalk) to indicate that
I am mapped to a directory, but how can I test if I have access to that
folder?

Any help would be appreciated.
