Thread: Get mapped network drives on local machine

Hi all,

I'm looking for a function to convert an absolute path to UNC and UNC to an absolute path ( if possible ).

Example:

John types "X:\Folder\File.ext" on his computer.

A function converts it to "\\Server\Share\Folder\File.ext" and saves it in a central place.

Jane accesses the information on her workstation. She has "\\Server\Share" mapped to L:

A function converts it to "L:\Folder\File.ext".

( Obviously it's not that easy, things can fail, special considerations need to be taken into account, maybe drives aren't mapped that way at all etc )


I already got the "AbsoluteToUNC" conversion done. Works like a charm. However, I'm still looking for a function that can list all mapped drives and targets of that mappings for the local workstation.

Anyone got any ideas ? I already looked through all the Netx functions and examples on MSDN, but all of them only work the other way, listing shares of the local machine.
