I want that stuff to be done in VB...

For the function that expects a filename, use:
\\computer\sharedfolder\file.cpp
as the filename. This syntax should work like the local filesystem.

Look at www.mvps.org/vbnet

On that link was an example but only or Nt/Win 2k networks. I need one for Win 9x/Me. Thank you once again.

Then you need to use APIs for the Browser service for those OSes. I think http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...works_0u43.asp are them, but I don't have 9x to test with.
