| Drive Object (VB6) |
Description
Interrogates the system properties of any drive connected to the current machine, including network drives. The Drive object supports no methods. The RootFolder property returns a Folder object representing a drive's root folder or directory; from this you can obtain a Folders collection object containing the subfolders of the root, and thus gain access to all parts of the drive.
See the File System object model entry for an overview, including the library reference needed to access it.
