    - Need a filtered select box In Outlook Express, you can get to a list of all available newsgroups for any of your newsgroup accounts by hitting Control-W or clicking the newsgroups item from the tools menu. At the top of that Newsgroup Subscriptions window is a box in which to type some text; when you do, the main window immediaely displays newsgroups with that text anywhere in their name, thus giving you a more focused list to choose from. Does anyone have code to share which can do something similar in a web page or HTA? I'm thinking it could be implimented by having a 'filter' input box, an array of all potential items to be shown, and a select box. Each time the user changes the filter, a regular expression extracts a matches collection from the join of an array of potential items, and and those matches are put in the select box. Maybe there is an object with this kind of filtering built into WXP. I hate to start these little vast projects with half vast plans. Any ideas or links to sample script? -Paul Randall Tag: VBS like a Service Tag: 209959

    - Help needed: Very odd VB Script behavior I have a web page with a vbscript section that looks like Sub Window_Onload() msgbox("Here") call getprojmonths(intProjNum,0) End Sub getprojmonths is a javascript function being called from a vbscript sub to provide ajax functionality and yes, it works. Here's the odd part: if I take out the msgbox the call does not get made. Furthermore, if I put another vbscript statement between the msgbox and js call it won't work; the js call must immediately follow the msgbox. I'm working on rewriting the js as vbscript but I am still curious why I have to execute a msgbox to get the js call to work. I'd love to hear why it behaves this way if anyone knows.

    - re: Path Location dialogue box & ammendment to 'Save As' instruction This post consists of two questions: 1) I have used the command workbook.SaveAs = intReturn1, where intReturn1 is the value returned from an input box allowing a user to save an Excel workbook under the name they wish. Could somebody post the instructions necessary to inform a user that a file already exists in that location, and that they need to save it under a different name. 2) The default save location is My Documents. What instructions do I need to create a dialogue box which allows a user to choose another save location? Thanks -- Charles Dean Tag: VBS like a Service Tag: 209944

    - Cannot call ActiveX component function from VBScript I am trying to call ActiveX function which resides on a client computer from vbscript or javascript. I developed a simple Visual C++ 2005 ActiveX component (ocx file) with one exported method which returns int value. When I try to call this method from VB, everything works fine and I get the value that method should return. The ActiveX component was registered on the client computer with regsvr32. I tried in two ways to call the ocx method from javascript: - with new ActiveXObject("progID"), where the progID was found in the registry, - with <object classid="clsid:xxxxxxx" id="xx">, and classid was also found in the registry. VBscript makes the object, but cannot call the ocx method. An error "Object doesn't support this property or method" appears on the web page. At Internet Explorer options I enabled all activex objects both in Internet and intranet zone. I looked for some kind of solution everywhere, but didn't succeed. I am blocked at two lines of code for a week. The code of html page with vbscript follows. Thanks for any kind of help. <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE></TITLE> <SCRIPT language="vbscript"> Sub callTest document.write(a.test()) End Sub </SCRIPT> </HEAD> <BODY> <OBJECT id="a" classid="CLSID:A2733628-A334-4207-83F1-F00198758EFF" name="a" ></OBJECT> <INPUT TYPE=button value="Test" onClick="callTest"> </BODY> </HTML> Tag: VBS like a Service Tag: 209936

    - Naked windows Hi gang! It's been a while - hope everyone has been well. So my interest today is um, ahem, well let's just say I want a window without all its dressings. Specifically, I would like to make use of IE's window.setTimeout functionality. And I have no problem with that, it works fantastically well. However, it occurred to me that I can perhaps avoid several lines of initialization code. So instead of doing: Set ie = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application") ie.Navigate2 "about:blank" While ie.ReadyState<>4: Wscript.Sleep 10: Wend Set Win = ie.document.parentWindow 'Now I can use Win.setTimeout perhaps I could go directly to: Set Win = CreateObject("WhatGoesHere") Any tips?

    - EFS, Active Setup and Desktop Folder I have a requirement to Encrypt the Desktop Folder. Since it is Locked Open I cannot do so via normal mechanisms. I have written a VB script that I run during Active Setup to mark the Folder for encryption and to Encrypt its files and sub-Folders. The script works about 70% of the time. The result is that the Files under Desktop get encrypted at the time the script runs, but the Desktop Folder itslef does not have the attribute set. So new Files added to the Desktop Folder are not encrypted. Is there some sample code out there to help me on my way? I need to prevent the Desktop Folder from getting locked, then Mark it for Encryption, then continue on with the user login process. I thought Active Sertup would do this, but apparently, it doesn't seem to work every time. I am hoping there is something explicit I can do in my code to handle this. Thanks for your help.

    - Path not found error using FSO GetFolder Hi I'm using a script to get a list of folders (and subfolders) for a UNC path but I noticed that if the script tries to get hold of a subfolder path that is too long to display then it ends with 'Path Not Found' - so the script is : Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") objStartFolder = "\\server4\files" Set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder(objStartFolder) Wscript.Echo objFolder.Path Wscript.Echo ShowSubfolders objFSO.GetFolder(objStartFolder) Sub ShowSubFolders(Folder) For Each Subfolder in Folder.SubFolders Wscript.Echo Subfolder.Path Set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder(Subfolder.Path) Wscript.Echo ShowSubFolders Subfolder Next End Sub If I add 'On Error Resume Nex't at the top, then it doesn't display the error but the script just exits on the problem path again and won't go any further. I unfortunately don't have the means to change the path structure and make them smaller or use mapped drive etc. What I effectively need is the script to ignore any paths that cause a problem and just carry on with the next. Is there any other way of getting round this? Thanks John Tag: VBS like a Service Tag: 209879

    - Unlocking locked local accounts Hi there, hope someone can help me I know there are other issues, but short-term this is the problem!! I have a number of users locking accounts by incorrectly passing credentials to a server. I need to be able to periodically sweep for these locked accounts and unlock them - these are all local accounts. I have found a number of ways to identify them, but cannot find a way to unlock them! For example ComputerName = localhost winmgmt1 = "winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!//"& ComputerName &"" Set UserSet = GetObject( winmgmt1 ).InstancesOf ("Win32_UserAccount") for each User in UserSet if user.lockout = "True" then ---what should go here??? end if next Finds me the locked accounts, though seems to add some domain accounts too.... Code below finds only local accounts and gives me details, but how do I check and fix locked this way? strComputer = "bob" Set colAccounts = GetObject("WinNT://" & strComputer & "") colAccounts.Filter = Array("user") For Each objUser In colAccounts Set objUser = GetObject("WinNT://" & strComputer & "/" & objuser.name) Wscript.Echo objUser.Name Next If it is easier, I do have powershell on this machine as welll Regards and thanks Ross Carr Tag: VBS like a Service Tag: 209876

    - Avoid loading images - Avoid sounds Hello, I'm writing automation scripts in VBA and VBS to use IE6 to retrieve data from web sites. I create an instance of IE (or sometimes connect to one instance already open) and send it commands to navigate to URLs, and retrieve the data contained in tables etc. My questions (so far) are: 1) How do I avoid the loading of images? (Ideally the user should be able to browse normally while my script runs, this means: if the solutions involves the "display images" option, can it be set to OFF in one instance without affecting other IE instances?) 2) How to disable the clicking that happens when IE starts navigation? (again, disabling it in Control Panel shouldn't affect other instances, ideally) Thanks in advance Chris Tag: VBS like a Service Tag: 209865

    - Windows 2000 bsod script to prevent or detect bad hard drive At work we have several pc's that use windows 2000 professional for vision systems, and for some reason when we have to shut down our sub-stations invertently one of our pc's gets the bsod and upon restarting the pc's say that the system file is corrupt. We have about 100 pc's and it wouldn't be very possible to physically go around and shut off all the pc's as this would require too much manpower and it would be less expensive to just replace the pc and replace the hard drive and ghost the new one for later use. Is it possible to write a script to scan the hard drives while the pc still runs normally so we could first prevent the problem and hopefully mark the bad sectors as bad as to possibly prolong the life of the drives, and also to let us know that we need to put it on a schedule to change out the drive. Also if shutting down the pc's in this manner, (Shutting Power Off) maybe make a script that would automatically shut down all the pc's. I have never used vbscript but I've heard that such scripting is possible using it. Dave Marden Tag: VBS like a Service Tag: 209840

Actually I can already kinda do the above but I'm stuck on initials eg if I get... "j.earl jones a.watson" I would like to make that "J.Earl Jones A.Watson" and of course if I get just "a.watson" turn that into "A.Watson" or simply change "james" to "James" and "james watson" to James Watson. Basically all the 1st letters unless there is a "." in which case the first letter also after the "." It would also be nice to put some kind of a check in case I get "j.earl." and there is nothing after the "." then leave it. Thank you in advance :-) Yas Tag: VBS like a Service Tag: 209829

I need to delete all .xml files from a certain directory, however, I need to delete only certain ones based off of client names. Can anyone provide me with a script that will do this? I have 30 clients that generate .xml files in this one directory, yet there are other .xml files we need to leave alone. All client ID's are based on a 3 character name, for example, AMB, KRT, MLI, TXI, etc I am trying to write the script to where it will (1) if files exissts then delete amb*.xml, krt*.xml, etc If possible, please send a reply to ken@txgeekman.com as well...

    - VBS Script/WMI results different in Windows PE 1.6 vs. Windows PE 2.0 I'm writing a small WMI script to return some information about the physical disks on a desktop. The script is to be called while Windows PE is running. Both versions of PE should support WMI, however, I'm getting different results depending on which version of PE I run the code under. I'm especially interested in getting the results for the value of InterfaceType. Under Windows PE 1.6, the value is Null and under Windows PE 2.0 the value is either IDE or USB (the correct values). All other values are returned normally. I read that Windows PE 2.0 does have expanded capabilities on what is available via WMI. I was just wondering if others had seen similar behavior or if there was a way to determine if the InterfaceType would ever be available under PE 1.6? Here is the script: *************** Sub ListDiskDriveInfo( strComputer ) Dim objWMIService, colItems Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root \cimv2") Set colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_DiskDrive",,48) For Each objItem in colItems If objItem.InterfaceType <> "USB" then If objItem.MediaType = "Fixed hard disk media" then Wscript.Echo "Description: " & objItem.Description Wscript.Echo "DeviceID: " & objItem.DeviceID Wscript.Echo "Index: " & objItem.Index GIndex = objItem.Index + 1 Wscript.Echo "Ghost Index: " & GIndex Wscript.Echo "InterfaceType: " & objItem.InterfaceType Wscript.Echo "MediaType: " & objItem.MediaType Wscript.Echo "Name: " & objItem.Name Wscript.Echo "Partitions: " & objItem.Partitions Wscript.Echo "Size: " & objItem.Size Wscript.Echo "Status: " & objItem.Status Wscript.Echo "SystemName: " & objItem.SystemName Wscript.Echo "********************* " End If End If Next End Sub ' **************************************************************************** ' Main ' **************************************************************************** Dim strComputer '* Do '* strComputer = inputbox( "Please enter a computername or . for local computer", "Input" ) '* Loop until strComputer <> "" strComputer = "."

For instance, if the Alerter service is started, the example script above should not have any items in the xServices collection. (btw, is xServices a collection or an object?)

    - Using and Array in an HTA I've taken one of my vbscripts that pre-creates computer accounts in the proper OU and threw it into an HTA. The script works quite well, but I'd like to make the domain selection drop down more dynamic. I've managed to get a list of the root domain and all it's child domains, but I need to filter out some duplicates before it goes into the drop down. What I've done is put all the data into an array and used the following code to filter out duplicates: Do Until objRecordSet.EOF strdnsRoot = join(objRecordSet.Fields("dnsRoot").Value) If objDictionary.Exists(strdnsRoot) Then objDictionary.Add strdnsRoot, strdnsRoot End If objRecordSet.MoveNext Loop The code works as it's suppose to, but when I try and dump it into the dropdown, nothing happens. For Each strKeys in objDictionary.Keys ServerSuccess.innerHTML = strKeys Next If I dump this in a standard vbscript and use wscript.echo to output the data it works properly. Am I missing something?

    - CopyHere keeps asking for overwrite confirmation Hello, I have a problem already addressed unsuccessfully in this newsgroup, but I'll try anyway. The following script (derived from another script published in this group) is supposed to extract a ZIP file to a temp folder and run a predefined installer, but the CopyHere method seems to ignore the FOF_NOCONFIRMATION and/or FOF_NOCONFIRMDIRCREATE options (in the last part of the script), as the file overwrite confirmation dialog keeps appearing. Could it be that CopyHere is fooled by the use of the Items method to enumerate the contents of the zip file? I'm looking for alternative solutions, but I cannot make use of any plugin, like a Winzip command line utility. Thank you, /_urka Option Explicit Dim WshShell, FS, SA, TempFolder, FilesInZip, PathToZipFile Const ZipFile = "\zipfile.zip" Const FileToRun = "installer.vbe" Const Params = "/S /L" Const Dest = "\whatever" Const FOF_NOCONFIRMATION = 16 Const FOF_NOCONFIRMDIRCREATE = 512 '=================================================================== 'Retrieves the current directory to create the full path to zip file '=================================================================== Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") PathToZipFile = WshShell.CurrentDirectory & ZipFile WScript.Echo "The zip file is in " & PathToZipFile & VBCRLF _ & "Click OK to proceed with the installation" '================================================== 'Creates a folder to extract the zip contents into '================================================== Set FS = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") TempFolder = FS.GetSpecialFolder(2) & Dest If FS.FolderExists(TempFolder) = False Then FS.CreateFolder(FS.GetSpecialFolder(2) & Dest) End If '========================================================================== 'Extracts the zip contents into TempFolder overwriting without confirmation 'and launches the installer with the assigned parameters '========================================================================== Set SA = CreateObject("Shell.Application") Set FilesInZip = SA.NameSpace(PathToZipFile).Items SA.NameSpace(TempFolder).CopyHere FilesInZip, FOF_NOCONFIRMATION + FOF_NOCONFIRMDIRCREATE SA.ShellExecute FileToRun, Params, TempFolder Tag: VBS like a Service Tag: 209724

    - re: the 'switch to' message I am using VBScript to allow a program to pass data to Excel. Once the data is passed, the program re-opens the workbook which it has passed the data to in order to analyse. At certain stages during the running of the script, the following 'Server Busy' message appears: "This action cannot be performed because the other program is busy. Choose 'switch to' to activate the program and correct the program." I have been advised to use the 'objExcel.DisplayAlerts = False' instruction but this appears not to be working. Why is this happening and is there a way to avoid it? It happens at some points at certain occasions, and at other points every time the program is run. -- Charles Dean Tag: VBS like a Service Tag: 209704

    - VB to remotely set default printer Any ideas why I can't for the life of me get any code samples of any code whether VB or dos commands using rundll32, to remotely set a default printer on a Windows XP computer. I am using the code below: strComputer = "remotecomputername" Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _ & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2") Set colInstalledPrinters = objWMIService.ExecQuery _ ("Select * from Win32_Printer Where Name = 'PrinterName'") For Each objPrinter in colInstalledPrinters objPrinter.SetDefaultPrinter() Next but it simply executes silently and does NOT set the default printer on the remote machine. The values are not updated in this sample to show actual computer or printer names. All the samples I find on this function execute, but do not perform the required action on the remote PC. They work perfectly fine locally. So I guess my question is this even a supported function of VB and WMI to remotely set a default printer? Is this a limitation or by design issue where you just can't do that? And if so, does anyone have any suggestions on how to accomplish this. I am trying to script the deletion of local printers from Windows XP machines, the installation of new printer server based printer shares on Server 2003, and the selecting of a default printer. I have everything else working, but can't for the life of me get anything I try to remotely set a default printer. any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks Tag: VBS like a Service Tag: 209695

The easiest way is to just use run it via the Task Scheduler.

Use the Resource Kit tool SRVANY.EXE
(http://support.microsoft.com/kb/137890)

And depending on what needs to trigger the script, a WMI Event Class might
do the trick (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa393013.aspx)
