Using WMI to get a drive’s ‘friendly name’

There was an deceptively simple question in the Embarcadero forums recently — how can you retrieve a drive’s friendly name? I wasn’t the only person to think the questioner meant either the volume label or ‘display name’ (as the shell API calls it), the latter being whatever Windows Explorer labels the drive, which is typically the volume label followed by ‘ [drive letter](:)’. Neither was what the poster wanted however — rather, he wanted the ‘friendly name’ as retrievable from Windows’ Device Manager.
