See Also Applies To

##### Description

> Returns a string containing the name of the drive for a specified path.

##### Syntax

> object.GetDriveName(path)

> The GetDriveName method syntax has these parts:

> Part | Description
> object | Required. Always the name of a FileSystemObject.
> path | Required. The path specification for the component whose drive name is to be returned.

##### Remarks

> The GetDriveName method returns a zero-length string ("") if the drive can't be determined.

> Note The GetDriveName method works only on the provided path string. It does not attempt to resolve the path, nor does it check for the existence of the specified path.

> The following example illustrates the use of the GetDriveName method:

> >     function GetDriveLetter(path)
> >     {
> >       var fso, s ="";
> >       fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
> >       s += fso.GetDrive(fso.GetDriveName(fso.GetAbsolutePathName(path)));
> >       return(s);
> >     }
