Ok, I got tired of watching this thread, so I looked up the object
property, and here it is in all it's glory. This script will strip
the description from ALL shares on whatever machine it is run on.
strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
& "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set colShares = objWMIService.ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM Win32_Share")
For each objShare in colShares
errReturn = objShare.SetShareInfo(,"")
Next
HTH,
Jeff
