Assuming you mean volume label, just call FindFirst ("\*.*",VolumeID,srchrec);,
although that's for the current drive, specify a drive letter if you want a
different drive, and then you want to look for the '.' in the srchrec.name
(using Pos) and delete it (using delete), and you've got it!  This works even
on Dos 4.01 where the volume label is stored in the boot record, it also
appears to be stored in the root directory.
