Since Im no longer sure what this discussion is about... Back to the original
question, when is QDir::drives() useful..
Here is code...
#include <QCoreApplication>
#include <QDir>
#include <QFileInfo>
#include <QDebug>
int main( int argc, char ** argv )
{
QFileInfoList drives = QDir::drives();
foreach( const QFileInfo & curr, drives )
{
qDebug() << curr.absoluteFilePath();
}
}
Which when run as a console app returns:
"C:/"
"D:/"
"E:/"
"F:/"
"G:/"
This is on a Win7 machine, running Qt 4.7.4.. However this is the results I
have been getting/expecting for years...
So what is the issue? Are we completely off QDir::Drives?

Just tested. QDir::rootPath() returns "C:\".

"My Computer" is not an existing directory though. It's a programmatically
constructed, uhm, construct.
An alternative way to ask the question is: If you open a command prompt
(cmd.exe), where would you have to "cd" into so that "dir" would list drives?
