I'm looking for a pice of code to get the absolute disk position of a file in windows 95 using visual C++ 5.

dwVolumeSerialNumber is really not what i'm looking for.
I need a value that will identify a file. ie.. if the file is copied or moved to a different part of the pc then this number will have changed. (i'm thinking the absolute disk position)

I think you need to read the FAT information of the disk. It is a big topic. Please refer to online help for more information:
