Mapped drives

[dds82]

If I have a complete path name to a network shared folder (like \\computer\folder), can I find out if the current user has that folder mapped to a drive?

Thanks.

Try This:

void ListValidDrives()
{
   int drives = GetLogicalDrives();

   for(int i = 2;i<26;i++)
   {
     CString temp;
     temp.Format(&quot;%c:\\&quot;,'A'+i);
     unsigned int type = GetDriveType(temp);
     
     if(drives>>i & 1)
     {
        if(type & DRIVE_REMOTE)
        {
            // mapped drive
        }
     }
   }
}

That will get me a list of the mapped drives. My question was, how do I tell where a drive is mapped to?

Sorry, once you know the drive letter, Use the letter for the key value under

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Network\<DRIVE LETTER>

If I remember correctly, and as the key value suggests, these should all be network drives.

Thanks! Just what I was looking for.

One small change to your code, though...

GetDriveType() doesn't return a bitmask, it returns a value. So change

if(type & DRIVE_REMOTE)

to

if(type == DRIVE_REMOTE)

and everything works fine.

Great ;-) Glad to help
