Hi, I have a question regarding how to determine the type of a drive.
I know that I can use GetDriveType() to obtain the type, but this gives me
the problem when it comes to 3.5" and 5.25" floppy drives since both goes as
DRIVE_REMOVABLE. This can be solved using SHGetDataFromIDList(). However
Windows XP also separates a CD-Rom drive from a DVD-Drive, so my question
is... which functions can I use to obtain the stated types of a drive?
Thanks!
