   An alternate is   
      
       wmic volume > volume_list.txt   
       notepad volume_list.txt         # Slide bottom scrollbar sideways to   
   review table   
      
   Seems to work unelevated.   
      
   On Windows XP, that kind of query would "kick off" some   
   activity on the machine. You pay a price for that sort of   
   query on an old OS. Like, once the subsystem got started,   
   it would never stop.
