    - Detecting startup as the result of a drop action If you drag any Explorer selection over a .vbs file, the .vbs file will attempt to run. Is there any way to detect that it is starting to run as a result of a drop operation (as opposed to an accelerator key operation, or a command line invocation, or perhaps someone has even set up other file types to be operated on by that script (by means of ...\otherFileType\Shell\Open\Command in the registry))? An insufficient test is that such a drag operation ensures that the script gets at least one argument (whereas an accelerator key start ensures none). However, this won't discriminate between the other two methods above. A WinAPI solution is also acceptable. Thanks for any tips, Csaba Gabor from Vienna PS. JW, Thanks for your response a few months ago to my cookie question - I am still chewing on that one. Tag: script to clean orphaned Registry entries Tag: 201625

    - populating multidimensional arrays Hi, I'm having some difficulty getting data into arrays greater than one dimension. I can do it if I specify every single element individually but there has to be a faster way. I thought something like this would work: Dim arrVal (3,3) arrVal(0) = Array(1, "ONE", "A") also tried this: arrVal(0,) = Array(1, "ONE", "A") and of course: arrVal(0) = (1, "ONE", "A") The only thing that seems to work is this: arrVal(0,0) = 1 arrVal (0,1) = "One" arrVal (0,2) = "A" Is there an easier way? Thank You Tag: script to clean orphaned Registry entries Tag: 201624

    - Detect when a file has been "GET" by a remote FTP Server Hello everybody. I need to detect when files in a folder has been successfully copied to a remote machine via an FTP GET originated in that remote machine. I have no access or control over the server initiating the transfer so I have to monitor events in the server that stores the files. Maybe a WMI Management Class bound to FTP will do, but I have no found info yet. Thanks, edelvillar Tag: script to clean orphaned Registry entries Tag: 201623

    - Problem with IE7, this script worked on IE6 Here are the first few (or more) lines of code to a script that monitors servers in real time, using IE to show a graphical/not page and indicating status. This worked on IE6 (I did have to tweak the security settings for intranet as I recall). Now it is broke, I don't really use IE7 (Firfox), but I do want my scripts to work in a browser that I expect to be standard. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Check it out; <--------Script Starts----------< Set WSHShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") Set IE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application") Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") 'Create a path and filename to a file in My Documents strMyDocPath = WshShell.SpecialFolders("MyDocuments") strTempFile = strMyDocPath & "\DIVExample.html" 'Create a file fso.CreateTextFile (strTempFile) Set f1 = fso.GetFile(strTempFile) Set ts = f1.OpenAsTextStream(2, True) 'Write a blank HTML page to the file with an empty DIV element, and then close the file ts.WriteLine("<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>Server Status</TITLE></HEAD>") ts.WriteLine("<BODY SCROLL='NO'><CENTER><FONT FACE='arial black'> <HR COLOR='BLACK'>") ts.WriteLine("<DIV id='MakeMeAnObject'></DIV>") ts.WriteLine("<HR COLOR='BLACK'></FONT></CENTER></BODY></HTML>") ts.Close 'Run IE and load the file we just created SetupIE(strTempFile) 'Set the DIV element as an object Set objDIV = IE.Document.All("MakeMeAnObject") objDiv.InnerHTML = "<font color=blue size=+11>Populating list ...</font>" <--------Script Ends----------< This part works. When IE7 comes up, it states populating list as it should, as well as that stupid drop down to enable scripting (can't seem to turn that off for intranet), but when I allow the script, it ends up blank with two HR (lines). Even though I am updating the oobjDIV object with HTML. Any ideas? Tag: script to clean orphaned Registry entries Tag: 201617

    - Can't seem to find a solution for this one... We need to be able to do the following: After sysprep runs on a server, a script needs to run that will - execute a command at a command prompt (this will add VLANs to our server's NIC, which we are already able to do, but only for one set of VLANs. we have mulitple pools of servers that each use different VLANs), then - retrieve the numbers from the servers name, no matter the name length (we have different pools of servers that have different lengths for their names, but all have 1-3 digits at the end of their name) - apply the numbers to a script (that will assign IPs to the newly create VLANs) using the number as the last octet of, then finally - run an already bat file that will copy all necessary data... any help would be greatly appreciated...i keep trying different things, but as i am in no way a vbs master, i keep hitting dead ends.. thanks!!

    - Can anyone script this?? Hi all, In order to implement a workaround to VPN users who have offline files set up but also need to access all folders when connected remotely, we're having to ask them to do the following (as per KB290523): 1. Double-click My Computer on the desktop. 2. On the Tools menu, click Folder Options. 3. On the Offline Files tab, click View Files. 4. On the Tools menu, click Synchronize. 5. Click OK when you are prompted to synchronize. Are there any vbs guru's out there who could post a script to do the above? I wouldn't have a clue where to start as my vbs knowledge is very basic.

    - Collections in ASP and XML, using the Session Object (Part 1) Let's say that I have an xml file with: <PRODUCTS> <PRODUCT> <SKU>AAA111</SKU> <NAME>Name One</NAME> <COLORS> <COLOR><ID>BK</ID><PRICE>10</PRICE></COLOR> <COLOR><ID>WH</ID><PRICE>20</PRICE></COLOR> </COLORS> </PRODUCT> <PRODUCT> <SKU>BBB222</SKU> <NAME>Name Two</NAME> <COLORS> <COLOR><ID>BK</ID><PRICE>20</PRICE></COLOR> <COLOR><ID>WH</ID><PRICE>30</PRICE></COLOR> </COLORS> </PRODUCT> <PRODUCTS> When the session starts, I want to create a Session Variable/Object that can be used in ASPs later like this: (Example Use in VBScript) Dim colProducts colProducts = Session("PRODUCTS") For Each oProduct In colProducts Response.Write(oMyProduct("SKU") For Each oColor In oProduct("COLORS") ' Access a SUB collection directly. Response.Write(oColor("ID")) Next Next oMyProduct = colProducts("AAA111") Response.Write(oMyProduct("NAME")) It has been a very long time since I coded, and so my code is probably a bit rusty. Also, I have never really worked with collections. My questions are: 1.) In my session_onstart code, how do I create a collection and store it into the session variable? What language should I use? Code Examples? 2.) In my ASPs, how do I propperly access those collections and sub-collections? Languages? Code Examples? Thanks in advance. Tag: script to clean orphaned Registry entries Tag: 201555

    - Can you use a Recursive sub in vbscript? I need to write a script that resets the permissions on all the folders on the Private drive (for my test I'm using C:\Private\). All the folders within C:\Private should be listed as the user's login name (C:\Private\aadams\). Many of them have different subfolders too. Basically, I need to have the script get the username from the folder name and set (not replace) modify/owner permissions on the folder and its subfolders... This is what I have found and smashed together so far. It sort of works, but only on the first folder...after that it looks like it gets kicked out of the recursive sub (will a recursive sub even in vbscript?...I don't see why not...) and I don't know why. I set up about 3 test folders with different usernames within C:\Private to test the script and each user's subfolder has a MyDocs folder in it as well.

    - Can you use a Recursive sub in vbscript? I need to write a script that resets the permissions on all the folders on the Private drive (for my test I'm using C:\Private\). All the folders within C:\Private should be listed as the user's login name (C:\Private\aadams\). Many of them have different subfolders too. Basically, I need to have the script get the username from the folder name and set (not replace) modify/owner permissions on the folder and its subfolders... This is what I have found and smashed together so far. It sort of works, but only on the first folder...after that it looks like it gets kicked out of the recursive sub (will a recursive sub even in vbscript?...I don't see why not...) and I don't know why. I set up about 3 test folders with different usernames within C:\Private to test the script and each user's subfolder has a MyDocs folder in it as well. Ok...after all that...here's what I have: ---------------------------------- On Error Resume Next Const FOR_READING = 1 strFolder = "c:\Private" Set objShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell") Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set objNewFile = objFSO.CreateTextFile("Test.txt") Set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder(strFolder) ShowSubFolders(objFolder) objNewFile.WriteLine "Script is done..." objNewFile.Close Sub ShowSubFolders(objFolder) Set colFolders = objFolder.SubFolders For Each objSubFolder In colFolders Dim Str, strUser, Seps(2) Seps(0) = "C:\" Seps(1) = "\" Str = CStr(objFolder.Path) objNewFile.WriteLine Str & " is Str" Dim a a = Tokenize(Str, Seps) strUser = CStr(a(2)) objNewFile.WriteLine strUser & " is strUser" ModifyAndOwn(strUser) objNewFile.WriteLine "in 1st part of recurs " & strUser Set colFiles = objSubFolder.Files For Each objFile In colFiles ModifyAndOwn(strUser) objNewFile.WriteLine "in 2nd part of recurs " & strUser Next ShowSubFolders(objSubFolder) Next End Sub Function ModifyAndOwn(strUserName) strSetModify = "& xcacls.vbs ""c:\Private\"""& strUserName &"\ /e /g ""da\"""& strUserName &":m" strSetOwner = "& subinacl /subdirectories c:\Private\"& strUserName &" /setowner=da\"& strUserName &"" objShell.Run "%comspec% /k cd ""c:\windows\""" & strSetModify & strSetOwner &"" objNewFile.WriteLine "in ModifyAndOwn " & strUserName End Function Function Tokenize(byVal TokenString, byRef TokenSeparators()) Dim NumWords, a() NumWords = 0 Dim NumSeps NumSeps = UBound(TokenSeparators) Do Dim SepIndex, SepPosition SepPosition = 0 SepIndex = -1 for i = 0 to NumSeps-1 ' Find location of separator in the string Dim pos pos = InStr(TokenString, TokenSeparators(i)) ' Is the separator present, and is it closest to the beginning of the string?

    - VBA or VBScript to extract filename from a long file path. I'm not sure which board this should actually be on. I have an access database with a single table and several thousand records added each day.. One of the columns in each record is a file path with file name. Examples: H:\MainFolder\BillyGroup\FloridaFiles\VariousReportNames1234567.txt or H:\MainFolder\SusansGroup\GeorgiaFiles\MoreVariousReportNames1234301.txt There may be about a half dozen different filefolder paths, and the files themselves could be named anything. The file names are variable lengths but always start with alpha characters, and always end with a 7-digit number. and all are text files (.txt) Here is what I want to do: I want to extract only the file name in each record. and copy the filename to either a field or variable to use in code in another part of this project, or copy just the filename (minus the folder path) to another text file that I can work with. I was thinking of some kind of function to do this that I can call and go all the way through the Access Database table to extract each filename in each record. In the 2 examples mentioned above, I should endup with only: VariousReportNames1234567.txt or MoreVariousReportNames1234301.txt The source data is an Access Database table, but my output will be text files, not access tables. How do I extract just a filename? Tag: script to clean orphaned Registry entries Tag: 201500

    - vb script to remove a startup entry i have this thing with adobe photo downloader, i don't want it auto-loading - easily fixed, same as i did with hp image monitor but i still want it available, so put it on the task bar on the left, when i'm using the printer for functions that i want all the extras, i click and it loads into the notification area just like it would on startup befotre i changed it, and i can exit anytime are you with me so far ? :) ok, adobe does the same thing, except it writes itself into startup when it executes i've found a vbs script that i think will do it, but i don't know vbs, really somebody check it for me please ? i think the only thing i need to change is "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\Adobe Photo Downloader" has to be HKLM etc and, um, i can write this into a bat/pif to execute C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Album Starter Edition\3.0\Apps\apdproxy.exe to load that, and then a line to run the reg edit directly after by a direct command prompt call to the script file ? so the bat would be : C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Album Starter Edition\3.0\Apps\apdproxy.exe call killapdproxystartup.vbs vbs code reads : 'vmb's remover for auto-insert on startup line by photoshop downloader execution 'Based on fixes by Doug Knox and Kelly Theriot. original file xp_pastitems.vbs 'designed to remove past items icon list in notification tray for volume icon problem Message = "we're about to alter the registry" & vbCR Message = Message & "based on a vbs script by Doug Knox and Kelly Theriot" & vbCR Message = Message & "edited by -<VMB>- -restarting Windows shell now to run vbs" & vbCR Message = Message & "This will not harm your system." & vbCR & vbCR Message = Message & "Continue?"

    - question re: user account creation script I am almost finished creating a user creation script for a school. It reads data from a csv file to create all the attributes etc. 1. Is the following line acceptable: objUser,Put "Display Name" strFirst & " " & strLast 2. The user is instructd to first create a spread sheet with appropriate colums and then convert that to a csv file and then a txt file. The instructions also say to strip any characters other then alphabetical characters (e.g. hyphen, comma, and space) from the names. Would it be easy to add lines to my script that double check that this has been done and to remove them if they haven't been. (If removing is a lot of work, I can cancel the creation of that particular user account and write a note to the log file.). Would I basically use something like: If instrFirst(",") or if instrFirst("-") or if instrFrist(" ") Then (write log file entry and move on to next user) EndIf If instrLast(",") or if instrLast("-") or if instrLast(" ") Then (write log file entry and move on to next user) Else (continue on with script) Tag: script to clean orphaned Registry entries Tag: 201480

I tried all possible combination; i tried to put the "/qn" switch in the options parameters of the Install method, but it does'nt work.

I tried this method because with the run method (WshShell), i don't have any control on the msi execution (i don't know in my script if the installation was successfull, nor the error number). With the install method, i have a return code from the msi. Does anyone know another way to get the control of the msi execution in my script?

Thank you Option Explicit Dim strProgramDir, objShell, strProgram, intReturn strProgramDir = "C:\RemoteProgram\bin" strProgram = "RemoteProgram.exe" Set objShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell") objShell.CurrentDirectory = strProgramDir intReturn = objShell.Run(strProgram, 0, True) WSCript.echo intReturn WSCript.Quit(intReturn) Tag: script to clean orphaned Registry entries Tag: 201397

    - getting screen width and height broke recently Guys, For years I've had the code below to get screen size in a script to move an agent character around: With CreateObject("htmlfile").parentWindow ScreenWidth = .screen.width ScreenHeight = .screen.height End With I now get an 'Access Denied' on the second line. Not AV or IPS software causing it as we can duplicate the problem on a test box without those installed. PCs have IE6SP2 or IE7 installed. This was just reported in the last few weeks and appears to be related to IE patches (just based on the timing - haven't looked close enough yet). Run within SystemScripter the output window says: Permission denied: 'screen' All I have to do is change it to this: With CreateObject("htmlfile") With .parentWindow ScreenWidth = .screen.width ScreenHeight = .screen.height End With End With And once again it works like a champ. Can anyone else duplicate this? Since we use WMI for other things in our scripts I may just switch to using CurrentHorizontalResolution and CurrentVerticalResolution from Win32_VideoController, but this worked for so long I would like to know what's up. Thanks, BZ Tag: script to clean orphaned Registry entries Tag: 201372

Why ? Dont edit registry when you dont know what you are doing.

but if you want then use the RegDelete method of Shell object.

Example :

set wshll = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
wshll.RegDelete "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\XXX\YYY\"

however, I know that it's not recommended manually edit the registry
unless you know exactly what you're doing.
Some programs leave they entries in Registry even after correct
uninstallation. Probably, it's not a big problem.

Any time you do sweeping registry operations like this, you take the risk of losing the system. Or
worse, unexpected degradation or failures.
If you have the option, check out CCleaner (www.ccleaner.com free), or one of the other big
registry cleaners. No matter how good the program, you can end up harming your system. For
instance, most of these programs look for "illegal" registry entries. Some programs make these
entries on purpose.
