How would i get someone's harddrive id#? Or something on the computer that never changes but ONLY exist on that computer. I'm trying to make the user login into my server using their harddrive id# or something that never changes even if they format. Is something like this possible?
Not in VB6 but you could if you used .NET or C++. VB6, as far as I have seen, can only get the volume information of a drive that changes when you format a drive.
I found this code that gets the volume serial #, this won't change unless the computer is formatted right? Also, all computer has a C:\ drive right?
this is the code:

yes, at least in windows. C:\ is a required drive unless your a good modder ;)
My windows is on d:\ on my pc, not c:\
:)
There is an easier way to use the API.

Just remember that if they reformat their hard drive the number will no longer match.
