Drives Property 

  • Article

Returns a Drives collection consisting of all Drive objects available on the local machine.


object.Drives

Remarks

The object is always a FileSystemObject.

Removable-media drives need not have media inserted for them to appear in the Drives collection.

You can iterate the members of the Drives collection as illustrated in the following code:

function ShowDriveList()

{

   var fso, s, n, e, x;

   fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");

   e = new Enumerator(fso.Drives);

   s = "";

   for (; !e.atEnd(); e.moveNext())

   {

      x = e.item();

      s = s + x.DriveLetter;

      s += " - ";

      if (x.DriveType == 3)

         n = x.ShareName;

      else if (x.IsReady)

         n = x.VolumeName;

      else

         n = "[Drive not ready]";

      s +=   n + "<br>";

   }

   return(s);

}

Function ShowDriveList

   Dim fso, d, dc, s, n

   Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

   Set dc = fso.Drives

   For Each d in dc

      n = ""

      s = s & d.DriveLetter & " - " 

      If d.DriveType = 3 Then

         n = d.ShareName

      ElseIf d.IsReady Then

         n = d.VolumeName

      End If

      s = s & n & "<BR>"

   Next

   ShowDriveList = s

End Function
