    [RESOLVED] Definition Confusion (Network Interface Card Enable\Disable)

    Could someone help me convert this to VB6 please? I have tried to do it my self but I keep coming unstuck with the shell32 definitions. I have posted the original code just so none of my changes cause confusion and it would be nice if a fresh (and more experienced) pair of eyes could have a look at this.

    Code:
    ' Switch Boolean (Scope: form or module level) 
    Dim LANEnable As Boolean = True 
     
            ' ***** Either placed within a button or routine ***** 
     
            ' Control Panel Identifier 
            Const ssfCONTROLS = 3 
     
            ' Enter the name of the connection to manipulate 
            Dim ConnectionName As String = "Local Area Connection" 
            Dim EnableVerb As String = "En&able" 
            Dim DisableVerb As String = "Disa&ble" 
     
            ' Generate Shell item 
            Dim ShellApp As New Shell32.Shell() 
            ' Obtain the CP 
            Dim ControlPanel As Shell32.Folder = ShellApp.NameSpace(ssfCONTROLS) 
            Dim FolderItem As Shell32.FolderItem 
            Dim NetworkFolder As Shell32.Folder 
            Dim LANConnection As Shell32.FolderItem 
     
            ' Loop through the items in the control panel and obtain the Network Connections folder 
            For Each FolderItem In ControlPanel.Items() 
                Debug.WriteLine("Loop 1: " & FolderItem.Name) 
                If FolderItem.Name = "Network Connections" Then 
                    ' When found - exit the loop 
                    NetworkFolder = FolderItem.GetFolder 
                    Exit For 
                End If 
            Next 
     
            ' Debug check 
            If NetworkFolder Is Nothing Then 
                MessageBox.Show("Error - No network folder found") 
                Exit Sub 
            End If 
     
            ' Obtain the appropriate connection record 
            For Each FolderItem In NetworkFolder.Items() 
                Debug.WriteLine("Loop 2: " & FolderItem.Name) 
                If FolderItem.Name = ConnectionName Then 
                    ' When found - exit the loop 
                    LANConnection = FolderItem 
                    Exit For 
                End If 
            Next 
     
            ' Debug check 
            If LANConnection Is Nothing Then 
                MessageBox.Show("Error - No LAN entry was not found") 
                Exit Sub 
            End If 
     
            ' Swtich the LAN toggle 
            LANEnable = Not LANEnable 
     
            Dim EnableVerbItem, DisableVerbItem, Verb As Shell32.FolderItemVerb 
     
            ' Run through all available options and obtain the appropriate action 
            For Each Verb In LANConnection.Verbs 
                Debug.WriteLine("Loop 3: " & Verb.Name) 
                If Verb.Name = EnableVerb Then 
                    EnableVerbItem = Verb 
                End If 
                If Verb.Name = DisableVerb Then 
                    DisableVerbItem = Verb 
                End If 
            Next 
     
            ' Perform the enable / disable 
            If LANEnable Then 
                EnableVerbItem.DoIt() 
            Else 
                DisableVerbItem.DoIt() 
            End If
