I can think of a lot of ways of doing this, depending on what you need it for.
Here is one way:
Code:
For $i = 1 to 26
""+$i+": "+Chr(Asc("A")-1+$i)+@CRLF
Next
If this doesn't help, try explaining what you intend to use it for and we will suggest something more appropriate.

Why the counting from A to Z?
if some users an external cd-rom or has 1 or more CD Roms, the default cd-rom path is not allway D:, this program will serach all the drive letters looking for a paticular file, if it finds it then the cd-rom drive letter will be recorded as a varible, then my other programs will user the correct cd-rom path

Yep, I tried the WMI version but during the install wmi is not installed, that’s why I wanted to use this method.
