Is there a way to check if a folder contains subfolders?

I want to know if there is a way to check if a folder contains subfolders, but without using the FindFirst/FindNext to check every item, because it's slow when the folder contains many files and no subfolders.

I think in general there is no way to ask a file system object if it contains any directories. I think you need to enumerate the object's children as you have described, for instance with calls to FindFirstFile, FindNextFile etc.
