Send Keys Script

Send Keys Script

I need a Send Key script that:
renames a folder
give a certain user Full Access NTFS Permissions to a certain folder in his local computer.

Thanks

Here's how to rename a folder:

Set RenameFolder = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
RenameFolder.MoveFolder "C:\Current\Folder" , "C:\New\Folder"

And here's a method to set folder permissions to one person or group. You will need WSH installed for this to work so you can use WScript commands. You can get WSH here:

You will also notice where it says "NAME_OF_PERSON" and "C:\WhateverFolder". These are the only 2 things you need to change yourself.

Good luck!

Function GivePermission()
           Dim strHomeFolder, strHome, strUser
           Dim intRunError, objShell, objFSO
 
	strHomeFolder = "C:\WhateverFolder"
 
	Set objShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
	Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
	If objFSO.FolderExists(strHomeFolder) Then
		intRunError = objShell.Run("%COMSPEC% /c Echo Y| cacls " _
		& strHomeFolder & " /e /c /g NAME_OF_PERSON:F ", 2, True)
		
		If intRunError <> 0 Then
			Wscript.Echo "Error assigning permissions for user " _
			& strUser & " to folder " & strHomeFolder
		End If
	End If
End Function

Does WXP SP 2 have WSH automatically or it needs to be downloaded.??

No version has WSH automatically. You will need to download it.
