What would the command be to run the following program in a VB script:

"C:\program files\Norton SystemWorks\Norton CleanSweep\Qdcsfs.exe"

I honestly don't know a whole lot about VB scripts, and I have one that
calls up disk defragmenter with the following command:

WshShell.Run "dfrg.msc"

and the script automatically finds disk defragmenter in the following
location

%systemroot%\System32\dfrg.msc

I even tried using the same command after putting the file Qdcsfs.exe
In the System32 folder and changing the command to
WshShell.Run "Qdcsfs.exe"

But even that did not work.
I tried putting the file via the path name both thru the network
\\brian\program files\norton systemworks\... etc and also C:\program
files\norton systemworks\...etc
to no avail.
BTW this is Norton Clean Sweep Fast&Safe cleanup if you're curious.

so you have tried from command prompt
"C:\program files\Norton SystemWorks\Norton CleanSweep\Qdcsfs.exe"
and it runs properly?

If so, you should be able to use in vbscript
Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.Run "C:\program files\Norton SystemWorks\Norton
CleanSweep\Qdcsfs.exe"

If that still did not work, try share the folder "Norton CleanSweep" as
CleanSw and then
Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.Run "\\brian\CleanSw\Qdcsfs.exe"

That is all the help I can think of.

Good luck

Shouldn't that be:
