    How can I use API to...

    Hi,
    Just wondering how I can use API to find and return the drive letter of the default CD-ROM Drive on a computer?

    Any help is greatly appreciated,

    Scott

    You can use the GetLogicalDrives API to get all drives. Then use the GetDriveType API with one of the following flags
    DRIVE_UNKNOWN The drive type cannot be determined.
    DRIVE_NO_ROOT_DIR The root directory does not exist.
    DRIVE_REMOVABLE The disk can be removed from the drive.
    DRIVE_FIXED The disk cannot be removed from the drive.
    DRIVE_REMOTE The drive is a remote (network) drive.
    DRIVE_CDROM The drive is a CD-ROM drive.
    DRIVE_RAMDISK The drive is a RAM disk.

    to see which drive is a CD_ROM.
