>The API call that Larry gave is not dependent on the WSH components.

Yes, you are right this was a mistake I did seeing quickly the msg and WSH, without giving a real look. Ah! Works great thanks Larry.

It is possible that the Scripting.FileSystemObject is present even if the full WSH is not installed; some VB apps use it.

Good, thanks for the tip.
