I just wanna try it again here, maybe somebody will shop up who knows where is the problem as I unfortunately couldn't fix it with degski (but still, thank you for your time :)). His example (can be found below) doesn't work on my system.

Hi Richard, Try running your console app as administrator outside of VS. This really can have nothing to do with boost::filesystem as the first API call is '::FindFirstFileW'. So it is the operating system that is limiting the access to your app. I did a little searching but could find nothing about VS settings. I do always run VS as administrator though. It keeps such things from happening. Best, Dan.
