    - combining arrays This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------=_NextPart_000_002F_01C53C28.A2C735D0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable How would I go about combining arrays into one array. Here's my script = below. I first make objects for three different groups in AD.

    - Can you create a shortcut to a namespace folder? Hi all, I would like to be able to create shortcuts that refer to folders in the = namespace rather than the file system. For example: if you right-click = My Documents on the desktop and choose 'create shortcut', then explore = the shortcut, the folder pane shows the folder as a subfolder of the = Desktop. The properties exposed by the shortcut object returned from = WshShell.CreateShortcut are identical for shortcuts that refer to = "Desktop\My Documents", "Desktop\My Computer\<user name>'s Documents" = and "C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\My Documents". If I use the Shell objects described in the MSDN here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/shellcc/platform/shell/reference/= objects/objects.asp I can distinguish between these by obtaining the Target property = (returns a FolderItem object) of the ShellLinkObject and recursively = evaluating the Parent property, but the Target property is read-only :-( = --- and my goal is to create such a shortcut. So far, all that works is obtaining the FolderItem for the folder I want = to create a shortcut to and then using FolderItem.InvokeVerb("Create = &Shortcut"). The drawback of this are: 1. No control over the name of the shortcut 2. For certain folders (Documents under My Computer for example), the = "Windows cannot create a shortcut here, would you like to place it on = the desktop instead?" message appears and needs to be "OK'd" by the user = before execution continues. 3. Use of "Create &Shortcut" creates language dependence. (I assume -- = not critical, but it's nice) My ultimate goal is to be able to open & close a folder without its = flashing on the screen. I thought if I created shortcuts, I could set = them to open minimized. I could use Run explorer.exe with CLSIDs for = everything except the user folders under My Computer, I can't figure out = a command line to open those. Anybody have any ideas?

    - Script to delete files older than 30 days old Here is what I have and need, as I am not a scripter. I have digital dictation system that attorneys dictate into a digital voice recorder and download to a network share point where their secretaries can transcribe it. When the attorneys download the voice files from their systems to the server share, it creates a backup of every file on their machine under their profile. We have roaming profiles setup for the users and all of these files are being copied to the roaming profile on the server. I would like a login or shutdown script that will automatically delete the files from their local machines based on a time frame, say anything over 30 days old. Any help would be appreciated, as I said before I am not a scripter, and this is taking a lot of space on the server and making our backups extremely long.

    - Paths including spaces Hi I'm trying to put together a script which expands %ProgramFiles% and then run an executable called "RunMe.exe" from a folder called "TestApp". Here's what I've done: Set oWshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") sEXEFullPath = oWshShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%ProgramFiles%" & "\TestApp\RunMe.exe /silent") Return = oWshShell.Run(sEXEFullPath,,true) The error message states that "The system cannot find the file specified.". I know that the file is there and just to check I added the row "WScript.Echo sEXEFullPath" to check that the path is correct. Every thing is ok. As far as I can tell, the reason for the failure of the run command is the space between "Program" and "Files" in the expanded path. It seems as if the engine only sees "C:\Program" and not "C:\Program Files\TestApp\RunMe.exe /silent". How can I fix this? Regards Wayne Tag: Error Handling FileSysyemObject Tag: 172811

    - Scheduled Tasks I have an Inno Setup that installs a bunch of scripts and batch files that need to be scheduled. I would like to know two things: 1) Does anyone have a script/routine that can be invoked from Inno that can schedule a predeteremined task? 2) I was thinking it would be nice to have a basic form that the user can pick what day of week, time, etc., a scheduled item can be run. The form information woudl then be interpreted and then create the scheduled task. Has anyone done anything like this before? I see I can use the Win32_ScheduledJob service tasks within WinMgmts:, but it appears to create the task under the "AT" command. Although it shows up under the "Explorer Scheduled Tasks" view, it cannot be edited. I must edit from the AT command. Anyone have any clue why? Tag: Error Handling FileSysyemObject Tag: 172771

    - User rights to server shares I'm looking for a script, or pointers to help my helpdesk people find out what rights a user has to several file shares. They may have a user that tries to view a stored fax on one of several servers, but the user cannot see the file, has no rights. What I am looking for is a script that I can have the helpdesk person run, they fill in the user's logon name, and the server\share that is a problem. What I would like to come back is the rights that the user has in that share - read only, modify, no rights. The help-desk won't have the user's password, just the logon ID. Some of our groups are nested 3-5 levels deep, which complicates the search. Any ideas? Randy Reimers Tag: Error Handling FileSysyemObject Tag: 172770

    - Very large SQL - how do I carry it over multiple lines I have an extremely long SQL statement that I need to run to update around 53 variables - and instead of having it run horizontally forever off my screen, I would like to ask what is the proper way to carry statements over multiple lines in VBScript instead of having to contain it on just one really really really long line. Is it possible? Thanks for the assistance. I did a search on here and couldn't find anything. Tag: Error Handling FileSysyemObject Tag: 172763

    - Run on startup, but only in this hardware profile? Hello, Is there a way to launch an application at login depending on the current hardware profile? For example, when using the "Docked" profile, I'd like to launch a certain .EXE. But when I'm not booting up under the Docked profile, the .EXE would not run. If not natively supported, could it be something that's scripted?

Check the general err variable (e.g., err.number).
