Description

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

Syntax

object.SerialNumber

The object is always a Drive object.

Remarks

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 fs, d, s, t;
    fs = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
    d = fs.GetDrive(fs.GetDriveName(fs.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 += "\n" + "SN: " + d.SerialNumber;
    window.alert(s);
}
