OK, I tried a test program that invokes QueryDosDeviceW() on L"C:". The result was "\Device\HarddiskVolume4". (That's not a C string literal. It contains two single backslash characters.) What can I do with that string? In what sense is it more "official" than "C:", or "Acer": (the volume's label), or "B64F-C8F7" (the volume's serial number)? -- Keith Thompson (The_Other_Keith) Keith.S.Thompson+u@gmail.com void Void(void) { Void(); } /* The recursive call of the void */
