Implementation of subst command

[espe]

Hi,

My problem is the following:

By subst method I substitute for example:

subst x: c:\something

As you know subst without parameters will display:

X: => c:\something

I try to write an application which should among other things retrive the same info as subst without parameters, I mean I'll pass X for example, and I'll get a path c:\something.

I've read that subst uses a QueryDosDevice but I think it's not exactly what I need. The best function I've found so far is GetVolumePathName, but it returns only mounting point - C:\ in my example above.

I've tried also different functions which I've found in MSDN (in Volume Management Functions), unfortunately all my tries failed.

I don't want to ready solution, only some advices and suggestions.

If I duplicated problem I'm sorry but I hadn't found the similar in this forum.

Regards
Seweryn
