Enumerate all storage devices

Jon Slaughter

I'm trying to make a tree list of possible storage devices for a small app
but I have no idea how to get them. I want something very similar to windows
explorer's tree view. Do I have to manually work with each one(hard drives,
USB drives, networks, etc, special locations, etc..) or is there some way to
get all these possibilities enumerated for me?

Thanks,
Jon

It seems System.Enviroment.GetFolderPath does this?

Hello Jon,

use Environment.GetLogicalDrives and Environment.GetFolderPath methods

Thanks.

Do you also know how I get the icons used? Do I need to extract them
manually or is there some way to use what explorer uses?

Use SHGetFileInfo WinAPI for this
Sample is there
