local drive letter <> drive share name

Author	Message
dale #1 / 7	local drive letter <> drive share name I need to build a lookup table of local drive letter <> drive sharename. drive share name = the name appearing under property page Explorer > Sharing Quote: > Share As: Share Name. I can enumerate the share names with IShellFolder - but don't see any way to get the associated local drive letter. I can enumerate the local drives with GetLogicalDrives or File Scripting Host - but don't see any way to get the share name. WNetGetConnection doesn't work - the share may not be mapped. Same for WNetOpenEnum, WNetEnumResource . I know the data is in registry under (W9x - not sure under NT, W2K & XP) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Network\LanMan but registry browsing doesn't seem like a smart way to do this. Can anyone point me to information about how to accomplish this? Thanks, -- Dale Sampson http://www.--*.com/

Randy Birc #2 / 7	local drive letter <> drive share name I can tell you that under NT/2000/XP you can use the NetShareEnum to retrieve this info for the local or remote machines ... see http://www.mvps.org/vbnet/code/network/netshareenum.htm .. the first col displayed is the share, the last the physical path. -- Randy Birch MVP Visual Basic http://www.mvps.org/vbnet/ Please respond only to the newsgroups so all can benefit.

dale #3 / 7	local drive letter <> drive share name Thank you Randy! - I missed this when I was nosing around your site earlier. This works fine for the NT OSs - now for with W9x machines ..... Some how it doesn't seem like this should be this hard.

dale #5 / 7	local drive letter <> drive share name Hi Randy, Again, thank you for the help. Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see anyway to use WNetOpenEnum, WNetEnumResource to obtain the share names of the local drives. As near as I can tell, this only works to enum local logical drives mapped to external shares. -- Dale Sampson http://www.dalesplace.net/download/ Quote: > The 9x version is at > http://www.mvps.org/vbnet/code/network/wnetenumresource.htm > -- > Randy Birch > MVP Visual Basic > http://www.mvps.org/vbnet/ > Please respond only to the newsgroups so all can benefit. > > Thank you Randy! - I missed this when I was nosing around your site > > earlier. > > This works fine for the NT OSs - now for with W9x machines ..... > > Some how it doesn't seem like this should be this hard. > > Thanks again, > > -- > > Dale Sampson > > http://www.dalesplace.net/download/ > > > I can tell you that under NT/2000/XP you can use the NetShareEnum to > > > retrieve this info for the local or remote machines ... see > > > http://www.mvps.org/vbnet/code/network/netshareenum.htm .. the first col > > > displayed is the share, the last the physical path. > > > -- > > > Randy Birch > > > MVP Visual Basic > > > http://www.mvps.org/vbnet/ > > > Please respond only to the newsgroups so all can benefit. > > > > I need to build a lookup table of local drive letter <> drive > sharename. > > > > drive share name = the name appearing under property page Explorer > > > > Sharing > > > > > Share As: Share Name. > > > > I can enumerate the share names with IShellFolder - but don't see any > > way > > > to > > > > get the associated local drive letter. > > > > I can enumerate the local drives with GetLogicalDrives or File > Scripting > > > > Host - but don't see any way to get the share name. > > > > WNetGetConnection doesn't work - the share may not be mapped. > > > > Same for WNetOpenEnum, WNetEnumResource . > > > > I know the data is in registry under (W9x - not sure under NT, W2K & > XP) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Network\LanMan - Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Quote: > > > > but registry browsing doesn't seem like a smart way to do this. > > > > Can anyone point me to information about how to accomplish this? > > > > Thanks, > > > > -- > > > > Dale Sampson > > > > http://www.dalesplace.net/download/

Janne Kej #6 / 7	local drive letter <> drive share name I have tried to find the answer for the same question for over a year now, without success. So I have finally decided to read the registry. On NT and W2K the shares are in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanManServer\Shares.

dale #7 / 7	local drive letter <> drive share name Hi Janne, Appreciate the tip. I'm thinking along the lines of a 'hybrid - use Randy's code from http://www.mvps.org/vbnet/code/network/netshareenum.htm .. for everything except Win95/98 & then enum the registry for 95/98Me. I'll keep looking for how to do it 'right' - if I stumble on something I'll post it here .... -- Dale Sampson http://www.dalesplace.net/download/ Quote: > I have tried to find the answer for the same question for over a year now, > without success.
