If you take a look at my NETRESOURCE class (downloadable here on UT as NETRSC.ZIP; you'll also need CLSHEAP.ZIP), there's an example that searches for all shared devices on all servers from all providers (on a big network, this can be slow). Under VFP6, you might want to look at the ANETRESOURCES() function (it's slow on big networks, too.)

Take a look at Bela Bodec's OCX for a better GETDIR() or my example in the FAQ that uses Shell.Application's BrowseForFolder method (requires a relatively current Windows Shell (at least version 4.71), but doesn't require you to distribute an OCX with your application.)

>Question 3.

>I know there is a tool in VFP to view the windows registry, is there a function to list all the software in "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE" registry into an array?

There are registry classes available for download here on UT; you might want to look at the FFC Registry class if you're using VFP6.
