Can anyone tell me how to recognize a CD-ROM drive from a Windows application? I'm doing a little programming in C and am having troubles telling the difference between a CD-ROM drive and a network drive. The windows GetDriveType function says they're both "remote" drives, yet I've seen other applications correctly identify the CD-ROM drive. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
