Get List Of Hard Drives?
May 5, 2011I'm trying to get a list of current hard drives (that part is done), but then go through the list one by one and remove those that have no size (dvd drives for example). I'm sure this is horribly wrong (4 errors are shown in the list). Could someone give me a hand?
Here is what I have so far:
ComboBoxHD.Items.AddRange(System.IO.Directory.GetLogicalDrives)
Dim dInfo As New System.IO.Directory
For Each drive As System.IO.Directory In dInfo.GetLogicalDrives()

View 1 RepliesFind A File Without Knowing Where It Is On All Drives?
Aug 3, 2010SPECS: Visual Basic 2008 - SP1/2, Framework 3.0.3.5, Windows XP Pro, SP3? trying to wright code for checking for existing files but what has me stumped is the (WHAT IF PART) of it witch in fact is what I want to see. What im saying is can I find a file without knowing where it is on all drives? Or how can i find a folder if I dont know where they installed it to.
Example: I know that C:Perfect World International <--- is the default location where my game installs but what if I installed it on D:Perfect World International; or rather on drive G or H. How would I test to see if it exist without making a bunch of nested If statements to test every drive for it.
this also applies to files like: D:Perfect World EntertainmentPerfect World Internationalelementelementclient.exe is there a way to find these files to see if they exist. I know that Perfect world international does not use the program files to put there program files in as you see above. so Envirnment variables I think cant be used correct me if I'm wrong. BUT I know the registry of a computer keeps some stord information as to where these applications are installed to like (References App Data).
What I'm trying to do is use this to tell the user in a Label that the game is installed in this path but I know in some circumstances the game is not installed on drive C: or D: or even in this directory some users can install it in there own directory such as C:PWI. and as such the file elementclient.exe can even be in C:PWIelementclient.exe. So to sum it all up can this be found useing some sort of code to find the file and folder and return them both in 2 difrent labels like this
Game Is Installed In: C:Perfect World International
Game Client Name: elementclient.exe, C:Perfect World Internationalelement
Game Found On Drive: C:
ETC.
I'm thinking and keep thinking that this can be done in many ways but as for environment variables I'm stumped. But perhaps windows registry may play a role in doing this but I myself don't even know where this stuff may be found; and even more how to apply it to code.
Find Paths Of Substituted Drives?
Sep 7, 2010I'm in need of a way to find the original path of a substituted (Virtual) drive, set with the subst command.
Start -> Run -> type "cmd"
[code]
subst l: c:\scripts
[\code]
This create a virtual drive that points to c:\scripts\
in .net an easy way to get all the drives on the computer is using the Drive property of My.Computer.FileSystem. However, this will give you the current substitued name of the drive. Is there a way to find the original path?
I get the path of the virtual drives mapped to network folders using WNetGetConnectionA of mpr.dll, However, this only resolves mapped network drives.
I currently don't have away to find the original path of LOCAL virtual drives.

VS 2008 - How To Password Protect Flash Drives
Jan 29, 2010Recently I've started experimenting with Visual Basic 2008, and just out of curiosity am trying to password protect my flash drives. (At the school I go to, it takes a couple seconds for things to disappear). So, I've got it to the point where I can have multiple "accounts" with their own passwords, ive got a lost password button, and a bunch of other stuff. But, anybody can just click out of it and go into the folder themselves, so I've been looking for a way to lock the focus on my password box. I've looked for hours and have found a lot of things that keep the focus on like a second form, so you cant go back to the first one, but I was still able to launch applications and things because the desktop was still active. I still haven't found one that keeps the focus locked on the first form and nothing else.

Enumerating List Of Drives On A Remote Domain Workstation
Jun 29, 2011I am trying to come up with a good way to enumerate hard disks on remote workstations, possibly including administrative shares, so I can audit key files on them without having to access them via sneakernet.I have domain administrator rights. Security policy prohibits using WMI which would be a great solution.I can retrieve a list of computers using Active Directory, but I need some way to determine what drives are available on each system. Is such a thing feasible? A fellow developer offered some VB6 code from years ago that used WNetOpenEnum, but I was hoping that since we are at .NET framework 4, maybe there's a more elegant / managed way of working with this. I'm keen to use technologies that are more generally supported, such as standard APIs etc. WMI is a great solution but apparently is blocked by default by Windows Firewall, so its availability is not guaranteed.
