GetDriveType and DRIVE_REMOTE

[marabu]

Sorry for not noticing your mention of WIN7. My remarks were aimed at the pre-Vista world.

Zitat von user:

What is "admin without elevation" ?

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 the knowlege base article. It explains quite good, why you get DRIVE_NO_ROOT_DIR instead of DRIVE_REMOTE as a result from GetDriveType(). This is what you are experiencing, I understand.
