>George, thanks for the reply. WSH sounds like a great resource and something that I need to learn.

Then I'd suggest that you check out "Windows Script Host Programmers Reference" by Dino Esposito (ISBN 1-861002-65-3). If you have an MSDN subscription, the October release included the following three help files that apply as well, WSH.CHM, VBSCRIP5.CHM and SHELLCC.CHM. They're also good reference material.
