???How to Get Remote Disk Share Name

Help Please and Thanks ALOT!

I am developing a record management system to run in either
User of Kernel Mode (and other non-Windows systems also).
For the User mode version I need to be able to figure out if a
disk file is on is on a remote share and what the name of the
remote system is for Win9X and WinNT 4.0+.

I can figure out from GetDriveType that the disk is a REMOTE disk.
How can I get the name of the Remote System for this Share?

GetFullPathName doesn’t seem to translate the drive name part to the
share mapping.

QueryDosDevice seems like a possibility, but it doesn’t seem to work
as I expect under Win98. The code at the end of this messagge ALWAYS
yields a “the parameter in incorrect” error on Win98 when run as follows:

D:\test>test_QueryDosDevice C: Drive type = 3
the parameter in incorrect

D:\test>test_QueryDosDevice F: Drive type = 4
the parameter in incorrect

Mapped shares (F: is one) get the same results except the Drive
type ends up as 4 instead of 3 (just as I expect it to).

On Win2K I get the expected results. On Win98 I don’t
even get the list of devices that I would expect when the
first parameter is NULL.

I would like the solution to work on Win95+, but Win98+ will work.
I know tit has to be possible because the Explorer in Win9x displays
the share name.

Can someone point me to a way to get the info I need?

thanks,
Rick Cadruvi…
