    - Execute program First of all I want to limit one users access on a stand alone PC. I set the login time window with the NET USER command which indeed limits login. However, it doesn't force logout after exceeding login time frame. Now I want to schedule a script that warns the user that a logoff will occur, and thereafter loggs off the current user. I can create messages in VBScript but my questions are these: How can I identify the current logged on user and compare this with a constant? How can I execute the shutdown program since Shell doesn't work in scripting? Many thanks. Tag: Solution found: change directory and then type text Tag: 172748

The error is "ActiveX component can't create object: 'Outlook.Application' I believe that one of two things might be causing this (please correct me if I'm wrong)... 1) The security settings in IE or an IE security update is preventing the VBScript to work.

    - using vbscript to transfer/move files I'm looking for some code example on how to move a folder/file from one server to another inside the same domain. I have code to move a folder from on location to another on the same server, but when I try to move a folder/file from one server to another, I get a permission denied error. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Ron Tag: Solution found: change directory and then type text Tag: 172616

    - A couple of questions about VBScript I've got a couple of questions WRT VBScript. I am using VBScript with Windows Script Host on Windows XP and incorporating the scripts into a WSF file. My questions are as follows: 1. Do classes allow for public or private Const declarations? I've tried, but I can't seem to find a way to do this. I have been able to duplicate the behavior by using properties with only a Get accessor, but this seems to be a bit of a hack. I have several constants that are only needed internal to the class and several that are helpful as arguments to methods. The amount of code needed for the property hack seems wasteful and the initialization of private data members is cumbersome. 2. Does VBScript allow Enums? The documentation doesn't appear to disallow it, but I am unable to code them without getting a runtime error. I've likely missed something in the documentation, but I thought that I would ask. 3. Is it possible to have some sort of class constructor that takes an argument as opposed to Class_Initialize which does not allow arguments? I have several classes where it makes sense to only have single step contruction as the class is in an indeterminate state unless several properties are known at class instantiation time. Two-step construction would require the user of the classes to know that the second method call is required. Thanks in advance.. -Pete Tag: Solution found: change directory and then type text Tag: 172611

    - Editing the nth byte of a BINARY Registry Value Hello I'm trying to edit a Binary Registry value which I can do by doing a full replace of the data, but because the data could be different from machine to machine and only specific bytes change I was trying to write a script that would allow me just edit specific bytes for example byte 6 and 63, but I don't know the best way to go about it. Could I use to the Replace function in this example? Replace(reg_string, "00", "01", 63, 1, 0) If so would someone be able be able to help me read in a binary registry value that I could run the replace on. I really don't have any preference how I get to how I get this to work, my programming knowledge is limited so any advice or help would be most appreciated. Thanks for time Gary PS My reference to a byte is if you export out from the registery a binary value eg "1"=hex:03,00,00,00,00,00,00, I'm asuming that the number inbetween the coma's represets a byte and I've worked out byte's that I would need to change.

    - Passing arrays as DialogArguments.. ?? VBS to JS Hi Passing objects from Javascript via the DialogArgs works fine. Creating an Obj in VBScript to pass...?? but Real Question is Having created a dynamic array in VBscript, populated with the values 1 to 10 ie dim Arr() .. // Set the values redim preserrve etc in a loop .. I call the window.showModalDialog("XXX.htm", arr, "....") and the receiving XXX.htm dialog window receives the dialog args as (in JavaScipt ) var oMyObject = window.dialogArguments; and fails as Type MisMatch Is this maybe because of slightly different implementations in the languages of the dialogArguments or ..? Nonetheless, how do I resolve this ? (I have about 3 days of scripting total to my name... (years of VB proper though)) TIA Neal Neal Rogers University of Cape Town Tag: Solution found: change directory and then type text Tag: 172587

Thanks Björn.

I have now found a solution which works:

Set objshell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

objshell.Environment("process")("prompt") = "$V$_$T$_$P$G"
objshell.CurrentDirectory = "C:\Programme\PostgreSQL\8.0\bin\"
objshell.Run "%comspec% /c Mytext"

Looks always easier in the end!
