When looking for how to find things out under Windows, it is a good idea to start by looking in the Windows help file, win32.hlp. The following are from that help. Number of disks: GetLogicalDrives or GetLogicalDriveStrings Free space: GetDiskFreeSpaceEx Volume name, serial number, system operation flags, etc: GetVolumeInformation Listing some devices: QueryDosDevice Other items can be found using I/O Control. For instance an array of DISK_GEOMETRY structures are returned by a call to DeviceIoControl with a calling argument of IOCTL_DISK_GET_DRIVE_GEOMETRY Getting the CPU type and speed are not trivial tasks and are beyond what I am prepared to put in this message. You might try a web search, http://www.google.com and might also try looking on the MS Developer's Network site: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp .
