There's the automation object Scripting.FileSystemObject available, but that requires the installation of the Windows Scripting Host (the provider is SCRRUN.DLL.) it's actually pretty straightforward to use, but WSH has to be required; it's a part of WIn98, NT 5 beta, and is installed with NT 4.0's Option pack. There's a self-installing executable available on Microsoft's Web site that will allow it to be added to WIn95 and WinNT 4.0 without the Option Pack.
