    Scan my Hard drives?

    Hello. I want to make a program thats like Launchy because Launchy doesnt work for me and neither do others. Is it possible to make Visual basic 6 scan your computer and list your Programs? If not would it be easier to let the user direct the program to the .exe file? Thanks. I just started taking a Visual Basics class in school so Im curious if its possible.

    yes it is possible, but it would take quite a long time to run, you would need to run a recursive directory search
    search the forums for recursive dir
    you could also use recursive FSO
    i do my best to test code works before i post it, but sometimes am unable to do so for some reason, and usually say so if this is the case.
    Note code snippets posted are just that and do not include error handling that is required in real world applications, but avoid On Error Resume Next

    dim all variables as required as often i have done so elsewhere in my code but only posted the relevant part

    come back and mark your original post as resolved if your problem is fixed
