how to access image captured from webcam on raspberry pi windows 10 iot

Question

I want to access some files on raspberry pi2 with windows 10 iot core. I want to know how to use address for it? in windows there are drives and directories that can be access with addresses like this c:\a\b\c.txt. how is ms-iot file system and addresses organized? I searched memory card also but i can't find the file that i am sure exist on it. the file is a picture grammatically captured from webcam and saved on the device by belo code

takePhoto.IsEnabled = false;
            recordVideo.IsEnabled = false;
            captureImage.Source = null;

            photoFile = await KnownFolders.PicturesLibrary.CreateFileAsync(
                PHOTO_FILE_NAME, CreationCollisionOption.GenerateUniqueName);
            ImageEncodingProperties imageProperties = ImageEncodingProperties.CreateJpeg();
            await mediaCapture.CapturePhotoToStorageFileAsync(imageProperties, photoFile);
            takePhoto.IsEnabled = true;
            status.Text =  photoFile.Path;

            IRandomAccessStream photoStream = await photoFile.OpenReadAsync();
            BitmapImage bitmap = new BitmapImage();
            bitmap.SetSource(photoStream);
            captureImage.Source = bitmap;

I use the path in the status.text to access file but there was no file

thanks in advance

You could try accessing the local file system via its UNC path on your network. As it's a Windows OS it has the default admin shares in place.

Eg: \\192.168.1.123\C$

This will then prompt for the Administrator user details of the device.
