Re: [DUG]: Renaming/Relabeling A Shared Drive from Delphi.

[Nello Sestini]

Label D: Foo works fine because D: is a local drive. If D: were a mapped network drive then this would fail and give the error "the network request was not supported".   I am on Windows 2000 Pro, Service Pack 1.     I'd guess this is peculiar to Win 2000.  In NT I can't change the volume name on mapped drives via the explorer.   Does this even make sense in general?   What if the drive is mapped to a network share?    Then what label are you changing?   In any case you might try doing this using the WScript FileSystemObject interface.   It doesn't work for me in NT - I get a permissions error when I try to rename a mapped drive - but it might work in your environment.   I admit it's ugly - but it might work.   here's the code I (tried to) use:       uses comobj;   {$R *.DFM}   procedure TForm1.RenameVol(drvname,newvolname:string); var   fso: Variant;   drv: Variant; begin   fso := CreateOleObject('scripting.filesystemobject');   drv := fso.GetDrive(drvname);   drv.volumename:=newvolname; end;
