In addition to the resource George gave you, here is a link to the MSDN documentation on the WScript object.

>>The WScript object is an internal object cerated when you run a script. It is created by the WScript.Exe utility. I don't think you can instantiate it directly. I recommend using Alexander's WinAPI call instead.

>>HTH.

>>>Your code fails on the very first line: Object WScript not found. Issuing CreateObject() alone, without an object reference, works:
>>>
>>>
>>>WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
>>>
>>>
>>>but I don't know how to code the third line.
