The password is encrypted and stored. You'd first have to find the location and then find the encryption key. The latter would be the real trick.

Well, if the user had previously logged on to another network, for example, the WScript.Network object does have methods to map and unmap drives. If not, you'd have to use the parameters associated with the map method to provide the user name, password and update the profile.

One simple solution would be to store the user name and password (after having the user enter the password) in a table, and then encyrpt it. VFP 7.0 comes with a wrapper class and sample for the Crypto API that can do this quite easily.

>Is the Windows Script Host installed on any W9x through XP machine or does one have to do something?

It's an optional component of Win98 and has to be installed on Win95. I think that it's part of the OS in higher versions. You might want to look at the series of artciles that Ed Rauh and I wrote on the WSH for the VFUG newsletter beginning in the September 2000 issue of their newsletter. It's available on-line at www.vfug.org. The first article is an overview giving details on what OSes/SPs it's installed with and shows how to test for its presence. Since the WSH is freely re-distributable, if it isn't installed then you simple can install it.

For the sake of brevity, I dropped it during my "bizarre signature" period.

A very loose translation would be: Where love is, God is also. It's my personal response to the events of September 11th past.

You get 'em.
