hi, all
i am a new beginer of VB, can anyone tell me how to make a program as follow:
i want to create a program (exe file), when i send this file to another pc thru network, when another pc click the .exe file, the program will search all the same format files (for example, .avi, .mp3, .mpeg, etc) and list all the format files available in that pc and send back to my pc thru network, so that i know what movie, or music files the pc available.
is it possible?

It's possible, but it's not a quick and easy thing as far as I know. I'd just write a DOS script to do this. Let me know if you want to look into that option or if the app must be done in VB.

i want to make a application file (.exe) and send it to my frenz thru msn messenger. but i don't know their pc name or ip address. after they open the file, the program will search musics/ movies/ pictures inside their pc and then send the list of musics/movies/pictures (paste on the notepad) to my pc folder (specified by me)

You can make a program in Visual Basic using the File System Object and make a function in a module to search for any files that meet your requirements, ie mp3, mpeg, jpg, gif, etc and output them to a text file on your friends desktop. Then get them to send you that text file.
I can send you an EE PAQ that I asked which might help !

It explains in there how to do it except you would want it to search for any media type file so you would have to alter that in the coding to search for the file types you want. You would also have to alter the piece of code that tells it where to save the txt file to the desktop location.
