>The Scripting.FileSystemObject is an ActiveX component, part of the Windows Scripting Host. It makes a great deal of functionality regarding file systems available through an ActiveX interface. In order to use it, you'll need to install the WSH on all target systems (something I do now as a routine part of my installs) - the WSH is incorporated into Win98 and Win2K, and can be added to Win95 (requires either OSR2 or some patches that can be downloaded from Microsoft to install) and Win95 (NT SP3 or later). It's instlaled as a part of IE 4 or 5, and a downloadable, redistributable self-installing executable can be downloaded from msdn.microsoft.com/scripting

>The full documentation for Scripting.FileSystemObject is found in VBSCRIPT5.CHM, with the remainder of the WSH in WSH.CHM, both part of the MSDN library. See my FAQ entry on how to get an MSDN Library subscription if you do not have one now.

Hey Ed,

That's VBSCRIP5.CHM. No 'T'.:-)
