Why Application Data folder is not accessiable?

I am using Vista 5487

(System Drive:)\Users\default\AppData\Local\Application Data is not accessiable.

BOOL bVal = Finder.FindFile("C:\\Users\\default\\AppData\\Local\\Application Data");

or FindNextFile

return true

and Finder.GetFileName() returns "Application Data"

We have the solution for this by replacing this with SDK calls as follows
IN32_FIND_DATA FileData;
HANDLE hSearch = NULL;
BOOL bFound = FALSE;
hSearch = FindFirstFile("C:\\Users\\default\\AppData\\Local\\Application Data", &FileData);
if(hSearch == INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE)//gives invlid handle for "Application Data"
{
return ;
}

This works fine but,

Why not in MFC?

any Ans?
