Get drive label that was set by autorun.inf file


Recommended Posts

I'm running Windows 7.

I have an autorun.inf file on a removable drive that looks like this:

[autorun]
label=My Drive Label

When I plug in that USB drive and open Windows Explorer, I see that drive properly labeled.

It says "My Drive Label (G:)" next to the drive icon.

However, I can't figure out how to read that label (without reading the ini file, of course).

If I use DriveGetLabel("G:"), it returns the string that is stored when you right-click the drive and select properties and type in a label. I can't figure out how to make it return the label that is displayed in Windows Explorer.

Any ideas?
