I do appreciate all the help, thou it may not seem like it by not using your examples or so forth.
But you're assuming these workstations have WHS, especially 5.6... If it requires WSH 5.6, then that would mean someone needs to install it on the target computers, correct? Now Win98 should have ver 1, Win2K should have ver 2. NT 4.0 and Win95 requires someone to manually install WSH of any version. Now if this is all true, I know none of the target machines have 5.6 and a little less than half have any version of WSH installed. That would mean I can't use your example because my target workstations do not meet the requirements.
I didn’t attempt to use your example simply because I have to keep in mind there are other people who, at the very least need to be able to look at the script and understand it without having to spend time examining it. I have to admit Kix is a very simple and yet powerful, but none of us are programmers, especially anywhere close your level. So I have to work within my limitations, right or wrong.
