Hi All,

Are there any API's or system calls through which we can differentiate
between 'local paths" (like hard disk/ attached USB drive) and
"network paths" (e.g. mapped drives on windows/ shared directories
etc.)

Thanks in advance
Rahul

Try GetDriveType.

You may also need to look for the local shares in the registry. I think the
keys can be accessed like:

long result = RegOpenKeyEx(
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,
isNT?
_T("SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\Services\\LanmanServer\\Shares"):
_T("SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Network\\LanMan"),
0,
KEY_READ,
&mainKey
);

Depending upon the type of information needed, GetDriveType or
WNetGetUniversalName are good options.
