General VB Question

[fallnwrld]

Lets say if Command.com, isn't available...would any Visual Basic commands not function right, such as Kill, or open?

If command.com isn't available you can't even boot the pc...what exactly are you trying to accomplish?

[fallnwrld]

There is secruity software out there, that uses there own version of command.com for security reasons, so people can't deltree drive and other maslicious acts as that....So i was wonder if my program would work at school in which where they use these time of secruity programs.....it actually puts command.com in the windows\temp dir.

Yes, they probably will work. If Windows can run on whatever Command.com that is in use, so will VB and it's functions.

If you want to prevent a person from using Deltree.exe on your computer using a program they made, you can just use:

Name "C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\DELTREE.EXE" as "C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\NEWDELTREE.EXE"

It won't hurt your computer or anything. But that doesn't mean they can't use the Kill command unless you scan the file looking for the "Kill" word .
