Open 'Disk Properties' via rundll32?

Hi all: I would like to open the disk properties dialog from a script,
just as if you were to right click on the drive and choose properties.
I would think there has to be a rundll32 command that can do this, but
I cannot seem to find a listing for it.

hi Mike,

Just what exactly did you wish to do with the disk properties
dialog, once you had it?

For example, if you wished to get the space available, then
there are other (more direct) ways to do that.

There are api's that will get you some info, and there is the
WMI win32_diskdrive class which will get you some other info
-- (provided you have WMI installed).

And some of the other functions offered on the properties
dialog may be invoked by changing some registry values, or
by calling a system utility.

cheers, jw
