   Only for you and John.   For me its absolutily irrelevant.   
      
   If you think its causing the stated problem than just add the ".vbs"   
   extension to the two lines in my first example see if it changes anything.   
      
   Newsflash : It doesn't.

   He's quite the moron, isn't he ?  Still enjoying yourself trying to get him   
   to even just fully read what is infront of his nose (let alone correctly   
   interpret it) ?   Yeah, me neither.   
      
   But "no" to the "he added wscript.exe to interpret the .vbs file" part.   
      
   The "wscript.exe" and than the ".vbs" extension can be removed (see the   
   first example). The vbscript gets run (interpreted by wscript.exe) in all   
   cases.   
      
   Which means that the reason I, in the second example, added "wscript.exe"   
   must have been quite different.
