Help with DriveType() for UNC type paths 2

[GuitarSlayer]

Hi,

I am trying to use Drivetype() to detect a CD Rom drive
which is a mapped drive e.g. '\\10.130.1.97\CD\'

When I use this mapped address with drivetype() I am not
getting the result I am hoping for which is return value of
5 (CD Rom), it works fine on my local CD Rom drive which is 'D:\'.

Any thoughts

Maybe because of the UNC it's being seen as a network drive rather than a CD dirve.

Since DriveType() is essentially a call to GetDriveType() -

it's only looking at the "root", which is a network drive.
