Network Computer Name List

Ok, I'm trying to write a Small version of network Neighbour hood. What I would like to do is some how get a list of all computers on a network and what resources they have ie.

Computer 1 - C Share
           - D Share
Computer 2 - A Share

etc....

I would like the quickest and simplest method of doing this. I Do not require any listings beyond the share names.

Is a great sample project to get all information on a network.

Ok, Thanks for that information, It helped with the list of comoputers, but how do i get a list of their shared resources???


Thanks for your help.
MICS, the second link does it, I just ran it as a test on my network, it does take a long time enumerating novell resources, though some of that may be that the servers are in a different location. Adding doevents after the list1.additem line in the form may help to show that something is still happening. Be patient and you will get the results you want.

Or, just download my contorls from the last link (http://www.freevbcode.com/ShowCode.Asp?ID=2977), place FolderTree on Form and at Form_Load Event:

Set FolderTree1.RootFolder = FolderTree1.ShellNameSpace(18)

Just so everyone knows, if i use a part of your code I will create another question, and give everyone points for getting me closer to my solution

Ok we are getting close, I Only want the shared folders to list, I dont want the "Printers" or "Scheduled Tasks".


Can anyone help here?

If you're using shell automation just check Folder.IsFileSystem property.
BTW, I used late binding (Set oShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")) in my code above. You can use early binding - add reference to Shell control and automation (shdoc401.dll) and you can look at all objects/methods/properties through F2.

Cheers
