> How to know if a file is on a local drive or remote drive ?

Look at API GetDriveType().

This is in practice how I get the first CD ROM drive
(probably can be optimized):

AnsiString GetFirstCdRomDrive()
{
  unsigned long r;
  char Drives[129];
  char* pDrive;
  AnsiString Result = "";

  r = GetLogicalDriveStrings( sizeof( Drives ), Drives );

  if ( r == 0 )
     return ( Result );
  if ( r > sizeof( Drives ) )
     return( Result );

  pDrive = &Drives[0];  // Point to the first drive

  while ( *pDrive != NULL )
  {
     if ( GetDriveType( pDrive ) == DRIVE_CDROM )
       return ( UpperCase ( (char)*pDrive ) + ":\\" );
     pDrive += 4;  // Point to the next drive
  }

  return( "" );
}
