Looking over windows scripting and being new to it, it reminds me a lot of when I used to write short batch files in BASIC language. Can anyone point me in the direction of where to learn windows scripting (book/tutor program/shareware) or has everyone just learned by winging it? What are your favorite resources? Thanks.

(MCA: complete subject)

My favorite resource for KiXtart scripting is the KiXtart Manual followed by a close second, this BBS [Wink]

Of course, there's always STFW and 'write-it, fix-it, deploy-it'.

Dear,

Welcome to the board.

The kixtart manual describes the syntax of that language. Information
about registry is different stuff.
For more useful documentation see startersguide, which URL you can find
in the FAQ forum topic Kixtart Starter's Guide

Don't format that this forum contains all kind of other useful things to know.
For examples, tools and other stuff see also our site http://home.wanadoo.nl/scripting

Greetings.

'write-it, fix-it, deploy-it'?
DOH!
I 'write-it, deploy-it, fix-it'

There are a lot of good books on the topic. Depends on what you want to focus on. Not very many on KiX however there is this one:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1576108813/103-8249039-9036654

If ADSI is on yor wish list, there's ISBN 0-7356-1037-1

"Let he who is without sin cast the first stone"

Who amongst us haven't 'written-it, deployed-it, fixed-it'?

I've actually done the 'borrowed-it, not-understood-it, still-deployed-it, network-kaputt-it, repaired-it' routine. [Wink] [Wink]

I agree with LLigetfa
Write it - deploy it - Fix it..
Ahh.. reminds me of my youth back in the commodore 64 days and "BASIC".
