If using file system object is not an option, you can always

run net use >netuse.txt
lcUsed=filetostr("netuse.txt")

Of course, the more elegant way would be to use late Ed Rauh's API_APPRUN class instead of the run command, so you don't get pathing problems (are you really sure in which directory will the run command run?) and the ugly black window while it runs.

And then just parse the string.

Hey, I didn't say it was easy :).
