>>Sleep was available in Win 3.x. The WSH has been around only since Win98. However, since Win95 is no longer supported, and the installation program for the WSH is freely re-distributable, I've never considered it much of a problem to do an install of it if necessary. Further, at the latest, it's a required component beginning with Win2K.

Hilmar,

On Win2K, it's not possible to uninstall it, but you can disable scripting processing, or at least prompt the user prior to executing.

"Wide-open door"? Not really. Check out this link

Some one, whom I can't identify, but with the email address of VFPRocks@bellsouth.net (so I assume it's some one here), sent this to me.
