That is fairly unlikely to be desirable, consider [Path.GetTempPath()](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.path.gettemppath(v=vs.110).aspx). — Hans Passant, Aug 14 '18 at 11:36
Does the application have enough permissions to read the content of that folder? — Martin, Aug 14 '18 at 11:37
Do you mean it doesn't get files from sub folders? Are you sure there are any files in that exact directory? — Magnus, Aug 14 '18 at 11:44

Change your code to include searching in subfolders. See MSDN for all info on GetFiles and SearchOption.

For Each File In Directory.GetFiles("C:\Windows\Temp", *, SearchOption.AllDirectories)
    MsgBox(File)
Next
