You might have to do it at a low-level file/open process by trying to create a bogus file.

lcTest   = "C:\MyDir\BogusFile.txt"
lnHandle = fcreate( lcTest )
llDirOk  = lnHandle > 0
if lnHandle > 0
  */ Ok to create the file, close it
  fclose( lnHandle )
  erase( lcTest )
endif

be sure to use a bogus filename because if it did have anything of value, it would be erased.
