I have never written vbscript before so this is a new venture for me. Might you
be kind enough to give me a crash course breakdown of how I would write this
code? I started reading up on it, but MS website doesnt explain things very
well. I just need it in plain words, i.e. what is the purpose of a
"declaration". I need a quick rundown of code. I found a sample code, if you
could just run throught it real quick and tell me what each function does and
why, it will help me out a great deal. Thank you for your time and effort, the
code is:
Option Explicit
Dim objShell
Dim strCachedLogon, strShell, strPwdWarn, strWinLogon
strPwdWarn = "passwordexpirywarning"
strShell = "Shell"
strCachedLogon ="cachedlogonscount"
strWinLogon = "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\"_
& "Windows NT\currentVersion\Winlogon\"
Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
strShell = objShell.RegRead(strWinLogon & strShell)
strPwdWarn = objShell.RegRead(strWinLogon & strPwdWarn)
strCachedLogon = objShell.RegRead(strWinLogon & strCachedLogon)
Wscript.Echo "Shell Program " & vbTab & strShell & vbCr _
& "Password Expires " & vbTab & strPwdWarn & vbCr _
& "Cached Logons " & vbTab & strCachedLogon
WScript.Quit
' End of Registry Example VBscript.
