Hi ,
I am writing a program that part of than program if to add a new
network drive to the user.
The adding part i know how to do (by win api "WNetAddConnection2A") but
i want to check first if this path (network path) exist of his
computer, if it does , what is the drive name.
to do this i need some how to get the network drive on the local
computer by the network path (\\comp1\C$\reports).

How do i do that ?
some things that i found ...
* I think that i need to use "WNetGetResourceInformation" win api
function, but i can't find how to use it.

Please help, Rony

Hi there,

Use NetShareEnum() WinAPI function. Here you will find nice example
