Sorry for not noticing your mention of WIN7. My remarks were aimed at the pre-Vista world.
Elevation - or User Account Control - is all about privileges and is tied to processes, not users. The support engineer you are quoting just failed in rewording the referenced knowledge base article, if I am to judge, so don't bother with "admin without elevation" too long.
Better you stick to...

There is nothing wrong with GetDriveType(), if you are dealing with connected network drives.
If you are looking for remembered network drives too, have a look at WNetOpenEnum().
