C drive name

Im trying to simply get the drive name of the C drive. Nothing else.

Unfortunetely all the scripts I see and play with want to look at all
the drive letters A C D E etc and give me names if there is one.

How can I just get the C drive name.

I have the following script which is nice. But cant narrow it down
just to the C drive.

Dim objWMIService, objItem, colItems, strComputer

On Error Resume Next
strComputer = "."

Set objWMIService = GetObject _
("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
("Select * from Win32_LogicalDisk")

For Each objItem in colItems
