Have a program looking for a file on the other machine every so often, and not do anything when it it not present, but to do whatever when it is preset.

Then, to trigger it, you can just copy the file to that machine.

Why exactly would you want to do that?

I'm not sure you can do what you want purely using VB. There is a freeware utility available called PSExec which will execute a program on a remote PC. You don't need to install anything on the remote PC. You could use VB to shell to this program which would do the trick I think.

PSExec is part of a suite of utilities called PSTools which can be downloaded from

If you have restrictions placed on you by some network administrator, by the sounds of it you do, its clear they dont want you communicating to one another and therfore maybe you should find another way of communicating. This is also possibly why the program will not run, insufficient access...

Considering you say:

all features of communcation r disabled

I highly doubt it...
