Returns the decimal serial number used to uniquely identify a disk volume.


object.SerialNumber

The object is always a Drive object.

You can use the SerialNumber property to ensure that the correct disk is inserted in a drive with removable media.

The following code illustrates the use of the SerialNumber property:

function ShowDriveInfo(drvpath){ var fso, d, s, t; fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject"); d = fso.GetDrive(fso.GetDriveName(fso.GetAbsolutePathName(drvpath))); switch (d.DriveType) { case 0: t = "Unknown"; break; case 1: t = "Removable"; break; case 2: t = "Fixed"; break; case 3: t = "Network"; break; case 4: t = "CD-ROM"; break; case 5: t = "RAM Disk"; break; } s = "Drive " + d.DriveLetter + ": - " + t; s += "<br>" + "SN: " + d.SerialNumber; return(s); }
