Next available drive letter - mpr.dll

Is it possible to programmatically find the next available drive letter that
could be used to map a file share? Or is my best bet to just call net use
and parse the output?

Thanks in advanced.

Why not just call GetLogicalDrives through the P/Invoke layer
Because that will only return local drives - what if there are other
mapped network drives?
