>Many thanks Vladimir but can you tell me if this works with all versions of windows from 98 up.
John,
Sergey's FAQ especialy API based will works in all Windows versions. That with WSH will works only if WSH is installed. In Win98 WSH is not installed by default, higher Windows versions install WSH, but many times SYSAdmins uninstalled WSH because they think that makes computer vulnerable.
