DevGuru WSH Method: WshSpecialFolders.Item



			Method: WshSpecialFolders.Item object[.Item] (lngIndex) The Item method is the default method of the WshSpecialFolders object. It takes a single argument of type Long, and returns the element in the collection at the specified position. Indexing starts at zero. If there is no element at the requested index, a "Subscript out of range" error is generated. A key string can also be used to access the items in the WshSpecialFolders. If the key string is an invalid key, a NULL will be returned. The following is the list of available special folders on various Windows OS. (Note: not all of the following special folders are available to all flavors of Windows). AllUsersDesktop AllUsersStartMenu AllUsersPrograms AllUsersStartup Desktop Favorites Fonts MyDocuments NetHood PrintHood Programs Recent SendTo StartMenu Startup Templates The following VBScript code displays the path to the special folder "Desktop". The example also illustrates both forms of syntax that can be used to call the default Item method. Code: WScript.Echo "The path to Desktop is: ", WshSpecialFolder("Desktop") WScript.Echo "The path to Desktop is: ", WshSpecialFolder.Item("Desktop") Output: C:\WINNT\Profile\User\Desktop C:\WINNT\Profile\User\Desktop
