I have the "replace.vbs" file saved to C:\Windows. I use it to find and replace strings in text files. Command line Syntax: replace.vbs OLDSTRING NEWSTRING C:\file.txt How can I modify the replace.vbs script to delete the string rather than replace it with another string? I have very little...

Thanks for the quick replies and your help! I tried PHV's code and it worked perfectly. Thank you very much. Since that code worked I didn't try others. This forum and you members are great!

My OS is Windows XP Pro SP3 How can I combine these two VBScripts, StartYahoo.vbs and MinYahoo.vbs into one VBScript, StartYahooMin.vbs without getting an "Illegal Assignment 'shell" Error from the line below? set shell = createobject("wscript.shell" These two scripts when run as separate...

This is what worked for me: I converted the vbs file to an exe file using ScriptCryptor. I use a script to open the file I want copied using that exe file.

Does anyone know how to write a script that would specifically copy a file "File.ext" to the clipboard and paste it to this "My Script.vbs" file? I do not mean editing the VBScript file. I currently right click "File.ext" select "Copy" then right click "My Script.vbs" and select "Paste". I...

Thanks that solved my problem! I feel like such an idiot! The first thing I attempted to modify this script was to comment out this line "wscript.echo "Killed " & count & " instances of " & _" but I thought the line beneath it "strProcessToKill & "on " & strComputer" was necessary for the...

My OS is XP-Pro SP3 I use the VB Script shown below to quickly kill applications when I don't want them loading at startup. This VB Script seems to kill the applications much faster than running a batch file to start taskkill.exe. However I would rather not have to click the "OK" button...

Is it possible to eliminate the prompt? "Error Copying File or Folder Cannot copy******* .The source and Destination are the same OK " I would like the script to automatically answer "OK".

I am really amazed and appreciate the code you gave me. While using it today I discovered it also did something I really wanted the script to do but was told on several forums it was not possible. Here is what I asked: Do you know how this script could be modified so it would ignore the error...

Thank you very much mrmovie. Your modification made the script do exactly what I wanted. I only had to include the third and fourth lines from the original script. The script I will use now is: set args = wscript.Arguments set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application" ) Set objFolder =...

My OS: XP-PRO SP3 I use the VBScript below to copy files and folders to different drives. This script allows my folders to retain their custom icons when copied. One of the destination folders "N:\APPS" is on a USB flash drive . I have discovered if my flash drive is not connected the script...

I don't know if the script provided at the link above is powershell or vbs and don't really care because it does what I desired. So if it is a vbs script I apologize to any who may be upset at a vbs posting in a powershell forum.

I have XP-Pro SP3 with Power Shell installed. I need a script I can drag and drop files and folders onto that will copy them maintaining the attributes of the source. Specifically most of my folders have distributable custom icons. Each folder contains both a "desktop.ini" file and an...
