Well it worked. I guess the answer to the question was that the first drive found to be CD is the default.<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I know how to iterate the known drives and determin if they are CD players using GetDriveType. But I do not need that.<br />
<br />
My application uses mciSendString command to open the CD and upon closing the CD I would like to perform a function.<br />
<br />
But I need to know the CD drive letter it is using. How do I get the default drive letter? <br />
<br />
The only thing comes to mind for me is to look in the Windows registry.<br />
<br />
Any ideals on where the entry in the registry might be or other method?<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

Determining default CD drive letter

C++ is an intermediate-level general-purpose programming language, not to be confused with C or C#. It was developed as a set of extensions to the C programming language to improve type-safety and add support for automatic resource management, object-orientation, generic programming, and exception handling, among other features.
