It works for me too, I just forget to escape the backslashes in the path.

I finally found and downloaded Microsoft's Windows Script Technologies
SrcDocs for Version 5.6 which is providing a great deal of good answers
to my questions. Hopefully I can learn all I need from it.

This is my first foray into scripting necessitated by my need to identify
certain registry entries that may exist on my machine due to PestPatrol
reports. It hasn't been easy. I just hope that my hard won knowledge will
be of further use and can't than you enough for making things just
a little clearer.

Thanks,
Ray
