Leaked – This is the new generation 2018 Volkswagen CC image

The German automaker seems to have a pretty major security issue – we just saw the camouflage-less Teramont SUV and the probable Golf facelift – and now we’re being treated to the next generation CC.

The new generation CC isn’t even supposed to be presented this year just like the other two – instead reserved for a next year introduction. Anyways, inspired by the Sport Coupe Concept GTE from 2015, the CC appears to have done the usual VW deed – strip away all the excitement and glamour for a very conventional evolution of the design. Just like the rumor mill predicted after seeing the model’s spy shots, it appears the CC is going to make a switch – from the regular sedan body layout to a hatchback. The liftback stance would bode well with the four-door coupe silhouette and also allow a higher level of practicality.

When talking about the VW models nobody could accuse them of being exciting, but the CC always had a special place in the roster and the second generation appears to secure that look all over again. It’s cooked on the same MQB architecture as its Passat sedan sibling and we can bet the majority of powertrains will also be shared. The new generation is not expected until the Geneva Motor Show in March 2017 or even later on at Frankfurt, and rumors even point to a moniker change in a bid to reposition and reinvent the model.

Russia paying attention to East for national interests: Putin

Moscow, Dec 1 (IANS) Russia has been turning its attention to eastern Asia not because of its cooling ties with the West but because of national interests, President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday.

In his annual state of the union address to the Federal Assembly, the Russian leader denied any “opportunistic reasons” behind the change, saying the country’s current policy was determined by the country’s long-term national interests and global tendencies, Xinhua news agency reported.

Moscow also attached importance to cooperation with India and hoped to improve ties with Japan, Putin said.

He praised the Russia-China partnership as one of the key factors for ensuring global and regional stability under the current difficult conditions, saying the two countries’ relations have served as an example of mutually beneficial interaction.

Commenting on future relations with the administration of US President-elect Donald Trump, Putin reiterated Moscow’s readiness to normalise ties with Washington, as both nations have “common responsibility to ensure international security and stability, and to strengthen non-proliferation regimes”.

The San Francisco Bay Guardian weighs in with their inevitable zombie zeitgeist piece. (San Francisco Bay Guardian)

Dates were announced for DVD releases of Pontypool (in Blockbuster October 13, retail February 10, 2010) and Dead Snow (Blockbuster October 20, retail January 26, 2010). They also said something about Resident Evil: Afterlife coming to theaters September 17, 2010. That seems like a very long time to wait for Pontypool… (Fangoria)

If spoilers are your thing, io9 has some details on Zombieland. And some more. (io9)

On a slow news days, something as insignificant as a single still from The Horde, the upcoming cops/gangsters/zombies film from France, might qualify as news. Like today. (Bloody Disgusting)

    I am seriously in need of a good zombie flick. I am also seriously bummed that I will have to wait that long to see a good one.
    Zombieland sounds promising.
    I plan on heading out to the sci fi con next month. Maybe I will find some great movies there.

    Did you see American Zombie? It’s very different, but very cool. Have fun at the Con — if you see anything exciting, let me know!

There's something about the look and feel of a new pair of shoes that's very appealing.

No matter if it's pair of elegant dress shoes or the latest sneakers on the market. The new shoe experience can almost be like the feel of a brand new car, complete with the new car smell.

Undoubtedly, Shoes will wear out much faster than a garment of clothing. So it is important to maintain and service your shoes, to keep them looking in top order...... Just as you would for your favourite pair of blue jeans or jacket. So here are some tips on how to keep your shoes looking there best.

Invest in a Shoe Tree

A shoe tree is a tool that is used to keep the shape of your shoes firm and crease free.

Over time, your natural walking stride will cause the formation of creases and cracks at the toe and sides of your shoe. To prevent this, a shoe tree is inserted in the shoe after use. It takes the form of your foot inside the shoe to prevent the body of the shoe from gradually going limp and lifeless. You can find shoe trees made from plastic which can be adjusted to various sizes. The more expensive and traditional shoe trees are made out of wood, usually cedar. There are many different types available on the market these days. Ones made for boots, women's shoes, plastic types, hard wood types, solid toe, split toe and so on. If you tend to purchase more expensive shoes, then a shoe tree is a solid investment as you protect your investment from premature wear which in turn; keeps them looking like new shoes longer.

The Use a Shoe Horn

The simple use of a shoe horn could drastically improve the quality of your life and also extend the life of your shoes as well. For some people, the task stooping over to put on shoes can be a daunting one. A shoe horn is a small plastic device used to hook and hold the back of the shoe firmly upright so you can insert your foot without crushing the heel part of the shoe. It takes most of the bending-over out of the equation. Shoe horns come in various sizes styles and lengths but are generally inexpensive .you can get one for under a dollar.

Replace worn laces

Usually, the first things to go are your laces. They pick up and hold dirt, get discoloured, become unravelled and tattered, then eventually break. You can instantly improve the overall appearance of your laced shoes just by changing old worn laces. It also makes life easier when tying them up.

Clean leather Sneakers with Fast Orange Hand Cleaner

Yes, you're reading correctlyâ€¦.. Fast Orange Hand cleaner. The best leather cleaner unknown to mankind. Fast Orange is the trade secret of many car detailers. It will take that heart breaking scuff off of your brand new white sneakers or bring an old pair back to lifeâ€¦the results will amaze you. This product is biodegradable, waterless, petroleum solvent-free and has no harsh chemicals, mineral oils or ammonia. So it's totally environmentally friendly.

Use a Foam Buffer on Dress Shoes

They're relatively inexpensive to buy, a one or two dollars usually. The buffer works wonders to bring out the shine in your dress shoes, giving them the sharp, classy effect

Foam Buffers usually come with some sort of shoe polish embedded in the sponge, so there life span is limited. When the polish dries out you should replace with a new one. With normal usage, once a day, maybe it will last two or three months.

Do not use your left shoe to remove the right shoe

Everyone seems to do it. It's the quick and easy way to remove your shoes in a jiffy. It's also a quick and easy way to destroy the heel of the shoe. If you want to preserve the look of you favourite shoes, try not to use this method to remove them from your feet. Instead, you should suck it up and un-tie those laces. Your shoes will benefit from the extra effort on your part.

Don't jumble your shoes together in a mound

Heaping your new kicks together in one great pile is just inviting the dirt from other shoes to mark and stain them. It's better to have a simple shoe storage rack or something to separate your shoes in an orderly fashion. A shoe storage rack can range from a small 1, 2 or 3 tier system. Up to the over the top walk in closet arrangement.

Following these tips will aid in keeping your favourite shoes looking as if you just got them recently.

Sharing Windows Permissions in Depth, Part 3

  • Print
  • + Share This
Eric Geier, author of 100 Things You Need to Know about Microsoft Windows Vista, continues the discussion on sharing permissions and settings. You'll discover how to configure Vista's new network settings. Plus you'll learn a few tips and tricks to improve your networking experience.
From the author of

This third and final installment continues our discussion on network sharing with Windows. You already discovered the advantages of using the advanced sharing settings in Part 1.

Before we configured the sharing and NTFS file permissions in Part 2, we organized the user accounts and groups among all the PCs.

Now we'll take a look at the new sharing settings offered by Windows Vista. Plus we'll see how to change our network passwords so we can log in to shared computers with varying credentials.

Let's get started!

Configuring Vista's Sharing and Discovery Settings

Microsoft introduced new sharing settings in Windows Vista. Besides the sharing permissions we discussed in Part II, pervious versions of Windows didn't have other basic sharing preferences you could set.

Vista offers a more user-friendly networking experience with new features that offer additional functionality and more control of shared resources. Since this goes along side of sharing permissions, we'll discuss Vista's Sharing and Discovery settings.

When you right-click the network icon in Vista, you can select Network and Sharing Center. Then you can refer to the Sharing and Discovery settings, such as those shown in Figure 1.

When Network Discovery is on, you can find other computers on the network and they can find you. You should enable this when connected to your private secured network.

Additionally, you should also have File Sharing enabled. These settings simply edit the Windows Firewall, thus allowing or blocking the traffic on the associated ports.

From the Sharing and Discovery settings you can also change the way in which you want to share the Public folder, which simply edits its sharing permissions.

Then you specify whether to let others on the network use your printer. Next, you can require users accessing the computers to supply a password or not.

If you followed the advice in the earlier articles and created matching accounts across all the computers, it's best to enable password-protected sharing so any rogue users can't access resources.

The last setting, Media Sharing, lets you control the types of media you want to share, and with whom.

You can Shed Tears or ...
by Unknown Author

You can shed tears that she is gone
or you can smile because she has lived
You can close your eyes and pray that she’ll come back
Or you can open your eyes and see all she’s left
Your heart can be empty because you can’t see her
or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.
You can remember her and only that she’s gone
or you can cherish her memory and let it live on
You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back
or you can do what she’d want:
open your eyes,
and go on.

Mondo Grosso
MG4 (Epic Records)

By: Alex Steininger

Run-of-the-mill, top 40 pop music that is good for either blasting at a really lame party or quietly relaxing to in your home when nobody else is around, Mondo Grosso's MG4 is as tame and conservative as it comes. Equivalent to a Spanish Britney Spears twenty-five years down the line. Pretty picture? Nah. I'll give it a D.

Classical Music Buzz > Pacific Symphony > Pacific Symphony Rings In 2012 W...

It’s a night of sweeping emotion as triumph reigns over tragedy, when Pacific Symphony dives into the power and melodic mastery of “Tchaikovsky’s Fifth” for the first Hal and Jeanette Segerstrom Family Foundation Classical Series concert of the New Year. Led by Music Director Carl St.Clair, the Symphony unveils the rigorous emotional journey that Tchaikovsky imparted in his Fifth Symphony, overcoming his inner struggles through the music. Although the strained relationship with his music critics caused Tchaikovsky to proclaim the work a failure, it is now one of the most beloved symphonies in the repertoire. The concert takes place Thursday through Saturday, Jan. 12-14, at 8 p.m., in the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall; a preview talk with Alan Chapman begins at 7 p.m.

Also on the program, Croatian pianist Dejan Lazic returns (after performing Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 4 in May 2010) to play Chopin’s instantly recognizable and achingly beautiful Piano Concerto No. 2. Chopin, who wrote the piece when he was just 19, delicately interweaves melodies with poetic detail to express the thrill of being in love. The concert opens with a new work by Osvaldo Golijov, inspired by a tide-changing book by Galileo and commissioned by a consortium of 36 orchestras to honor the retirement of Henry Fogel, past president of the League of American Orchestras.

“The first time I heard Tchaikovsky’s Fifth Symphony, it was being conducted by my future mentor Leonard Bernstein,” says Maestro St.Clair. “I was watching it on a 1948 black Westinghouse television set that my dad bought when he got back from World War II, and even on this small black and white TV, the symphony made quite an impression on me. I now consider Tchaikovsky a great teacher, and when I conduct this piece, I hope to rediscover the depth of interpretation that I felt that evening.”

Fun Pirate Ship Facts for Kids

According to mocomi.com there are many fun pirate facts for kids. Piracy began more than 2000 years ago in Ancient Greece, when sea robbers started flocking around the trading routes. These sea robbers challenged all those who passed from there and looted them mercilessly. Piracy was at its peak between 1620 and 1720. That is why this period is also known as the golden age of piracy. During this time, there have been different types of pirates, these being privateers, buccaneers, and corsairs. Most of the seamen took to piracy in the hope of becoming rich and leading a better life. However, they had to abide by some stringent rules enforced by the captain of the ship. These rules were often strict and breaking them meant punishment by death. Pirates believed that wearing pierced earrings would improve their eyesight. Pirates believed that having women on board their ship brought bad luck. They also believed that whistling on a ship would turn the weather stormy.

Fun Veggietales Facts for Kids

According to WikiPedia VeggieTales is an American series of children's computer animated films featuring anthropomorphic fruits and vegetables in stories conveying moral themes based on Christianity. The VeggieTales series of movies for kids teach Biblical lessons in a way that doesn't come off preachy (and is totally fun in the process). The episodes frequently retell and re-create Bible stories anachronistically reframed and include humorous references to pop culture. VeggieTales was created by Phil Vischer and Mike Nawrocki through their company Big Idea Productions. Their aim was to produce children's videos which conveyed Christian moral themes and taught Biblical values and lessons.

The Truth and History of Network Marketing

Permalink 04/13/04 14:44, by admin, Categories: Myths and Answers

Written by Greg Stewart. For those that are not aware of Greg Stewart, I need to give you just a little background on how this man changed my life.

I met Greg when he was with N/A/T/O International as the Vice President of Sales and Marketing. He was simply amazing. The things I learned from working with Greg Stewart were the reason I ever personally cracked the elusive $10,000 USD per month in the MLM industry as a distributor.

Before Greg was with N/A/T/O International he was with Jewelway and was on the Masters series of tapes published by Upline. That series was amazing, if you can get a copy of it, you really should, it was fantastic!

This article was one sales aid that used to be sold by Upline magazine. It is here for your enjoyment. I will put parts of it up over time and a link to the whole article if you want to read it all in one shot!

Your Monthly Horoscope

Shanda Leer is your favourite tipsy aunt at a wedding. Besides making every pizza personal-sized, her three talents are hosting, toasting and ghosting.

A fresh packet of Post-It Notes is your passport to freedom this month. Take all your intentions and colour code them, then paint your walls with these neon glimpses of the future. Don’t lick the glue off the back. If you can tear down at least one per week, you’re doing just OK. People have to be watching to be disappointed. Don’t lick the glue.

You place a high value on open, honest communication. Funny enough, most people—if not all people—feel the same way. Dig deeper to uncover what you truly desire. Maybe it’s someone who keeps their socks on during sex. Or a compliment from Janet at the office who always pretends she doesn’t notice your haircut. Be honest with yourself.

Satire is a dying art—everyone thinks they can make something funny out of nothing. It’s like when people try to use slang they heard on TV, but it’s wildly out of context and now that one interaction has shaped their entire world. That’s what happening with satire. Lying isn’t satire. This horoscope has nothing to do with you.

Tonight, we form a prayer circle. Link hands with those closest to your spirit and raise them to the sky. Call down the power of the universe to carry us through this season with little incident and lots of love. Remember these words and actions because it’s what will keep you sane when you’re coming down.

It’s time to take a stand and carve out your home in the world. Use every harpy along the way as a stepping stone across the river. Your feet will get wet but your cuffs will stay bone dry. Think back to the episode of The Golden Girls when Dorothy solved the murder mystery in only 20 minutes. “NOT NOW, MA,” she bellowed. You can Gil Bellows, too.

Now that you’ve taken the reins of the cow, steer her to the promised land. Park her under the apple tree and wait for gravity’s rainbow to strike. As you sit there, pull out a notebook and a Number 2 pencil to capture your thoughts. This is all dream, by the way, and you shit the bed.

If you’re looking to make a new home, Faith Moves Houses. Secure sub-prime financing and talk endlessly about its benefits to no one. Get down with payments and other such real-estate punchlines. Make up the spare room because I’m coming over for a few weeks. This is not a joke.

Take your baby by the hand and make her do a high handstand. Listen to Wang Chung’s deep cuts. Find yourself. Pour a drink. Sit outside and do nothing. Whisper in your baby’s ear that we’re here for a good time, not a long time. Dust off your shoes and pull up your socks. I think I’m a little drunk.

Have you recently pivoted to video? Do you like people to think you have it all together because you arrange your salads into sections even though you just have to toss it all? Does a set of copper bowls in your neighbour’s apartment fill you with envy, dread, and give you a boner all at once? Do you need to call me to explain how horoscopes work?

The greatest challenge you will face is resisting the urge to become a parent who makes jokes about needing to drink to deal with their kids.

That’s it. God speed, lil’ doodle.

You are a mighty crab with pincers that can topple mountains. You looked beautiful dressed in a garlic butter sauce. You should only be boiled after you’ve been mercifully killed. You’ll float to the top. You’ll know when you’re done. You pull off the red and white tablecloth look to perfection. You wear the meal, it does not wear you. I’ll miss you.

If you can count to ten, you can do anything. If you’re anxious, wait in line for a fresh croissant. If you’re tired, get on your bike and head to the nearest brew pub. Don’t order anything just turn around when you get there. Call your aunt that you rarely speak to just to say hi. Sit in a dark room with no noise for 45 minutes and contemplate something dumb you said when you were in the fourth grade. Watch a bottle of wine evaporate.

History of Muay Thai training in Thailand

history1aMuay Thai is the cultural Martial Art of Thailand. For the last 700+ years, Muay Thai has been refined into the modern olympic sport it is today. Considered very violent by many Western standards, Muay Thai uses the body as a weapon defining 8 forms of attack: legs, fists, knees, elbows. Powerful and effective combinations of knees and elbows and kicks and punches are the arsenal of each Muay Thai fighter. Muay Thai fighters are also very proficient at clinching and grappling with opponents in an attempt to throw their adversary to the ground.

The history of the sport / Martial Art of Muay Thai is shrouded in a vale of mystery. Several hundred years ago, people and tribes originating from the steppes and mountain regions of southern China, migrated south towards the fertile lands in the cetral plateau of Thailand. Along this route of southerly migration, the tribes were met with resistance and attack by the tribes already occupying this region. The tribes fought each other for centuries until the “Tai” tribe had claimed dominance in the region from Chiang Mai south to Ayudhaya and Bangkok.

thom1aThe Kingdom of Siam was founded, but found itself at constant war with neighboring countries Cambodia, Burma, Laos, and Vietnam. Much of the written history and archives of Muay Thai were lost during one of these wars with the Burmese. The capital city of Siam, Ayudhaya was razed and plundered in the 14th century. The Burmese stole countless artifacts, treasures, and destroyed much of what they did not take. Very few written texts, diagrams, drawings,and scrolls remain recounting the origins and development of the sport.

Despite the loss of valuable teaching manuals, Muay Thai remained in the heart of the Thai culture and thrived during the reign of King Naruesan. In the mid-1500’s, King Naruesan was captured in a battle against the Burmese. Offered a chance to fight for his freedom, The Thai King using his military training in Muay Thai, defeating each of the Burmese fighters he faced. Winning his freedom and his country’s respect and admiration, King Naruesan returned home a hero. His legendary tale of defeating the Burmese warriors and gaining his freedom helped create interest and practice of the sport among the Thai people. It was during this period that the Thai people claimed the sport as part of the national culture and unique to the Kingdom of Siam (Thailand).

guardian_bangkok_1aWith the popularity of the sport growing, many soldiers returning home from the military engaged in contests of fight and sport in villages, festivals, and cities. The increased practice and involvement in the sport soon led to the first schools or gyms being built by soldiers and fighters who excelled at the art. The Monarchy helped promote the sport by putting on large festivals in the capital and provincial cities. The first Muay Thai fights were promoted with village and local champions squaring off to fight to entertain the Royal family and the many spectators. The love for Muay Thai has never waned with the Thai people through the centuries.

One of the most popular Thai-legends is that of Nai KhanomTom. A revered Muay Thai fighter, Nai KhanomTom was captured and taken prisoner when the Burmese sacked Ayudhaya in 1787. Forced to march into Burma, Nai KhanomTom was housed with other Thai soldiers and prisoners awaiting the judgement of the Bumese King. The King decided to have a festival in celebration of the Burmese victory, and ordered Nai KhanonTom to “display” the “Thai-style” of fighting. Placed in an open courtyard in front of the King and his audience, Nai KhanomTom faced his first Burmese warrior.

At the onset of the fight, Nai KhanomTom gave a “wai” (respectful salute) to his fellow captive Thai and in the direction of his country. He then began to slowly dance and pose throughout the courtyard waving his arms and circling his legs. The Burmese fighter argued that he was being cursed by the evil Thai warrior, but Nai KhanomTom explained he was merely giving “thanks” to his teacher, country, and fellow Thai by performing this ritual dance. (Note: this may have been one of the earliest accounts of the “Wai Kroo” which is still performed before every Muay Thai fight even today.)

Nai KhanomTom went on to defeat each and every opponent the Burmese King placed before him. Using his knees, elbows, legs, and fists, the staple elements of modern and aincent Muay thai, Nai KhanomTom battered each opponent until they could not rise from the ground. Upon defeating the last of as many as 10 Burmese fighters, Lord Mangra, the Burmese King, showed respect and mercy and awarded Nai KhanomTom his freedom and gifted him two Burmese women to be his concubines. Nai KhanomTom returned to his home a hero. Today, he is recognized as the “father” of the sport and the greatest warrior of the Noble Martial Art of Muay Thai.

muaythai_history_pic1aAfter WWII, stadiums dedicated to Muay Thai were built in Bangkok, Chiang Mai, and Sukothai. Rules, comparable to American Boxing, were intergrated into the sport, as Muay Thai evolved from it’s roots into a legitimate sport/Martial Art with an international interest. Rules changes involving gloves, time of each round, protection, and point scoring were adopted to help the sport become main-streamed, and eventually, a better product for television broadcasts of fights. Foreigners, stationed together with Thai soldiers during WWII, spoke respectfully of the violent but graceful style of fighting called: Muay Thai. Not long after the war, foreigners began to travel to Thailand to experience the culture of Thailand and the strange and exotic Martial Art of the Kingdom.

Today, Muay Thai is popular throughout the world. Most countries have governing organizations in Muay Thai, schools for instruction, and televised fights and tournaments that further the promotion of the sport. Muay Thai has been recently accepted as a Olympic sport, and has seen an increase in popularity among foreigners because of the similar tactics and strategies to Mixed Martial Arts a.k.a. Ultimate Fighting/Cage Fighting/Submission. MMA tournaments and organizations are popular on video and television in many countries. The popularity of MMA has helped broaden the international respect for Muay Thai which is considered an essential skill to learn for stand-up striking skills.

Muay Thai is the most popular sport in Thailand today. Stadiums are present is most cities large and small. Television stations all carry Muay Thai fight programming several times per week. Large tournaments and World Championships are held every year in Bangkok and other populace cities. The Thai people are proud of their heritage and culture, and are happy that foreigners accross the world believe Muay Thai to be one of the most respected Martial Art fighting styles taught today.

PA Mantra: No Bilateral Ties With Israel

Ramallah continues to beat the unilateralist drums - this time saying it will challenge Israel's security fence in int'l courts... again.

Palestinian Authority officials kept up their mantra of abrogating all bilateral accords with Israel on Thursday saying it would seek territorial redress in international courts.

“We are studying currently total termination of all kind of dealings with the Israeli courts which basically belong to the occupier and never delivered the Palestinians with fair verdicts,” Palestinian Legislative Council member Walid Assaf told Gulf News.

Assaf said his committee, which is responsible for litigating territorial disputes with Israel in Judea and Samaria, was conducting a final review of using international courts to challenge Israel's security fence in Judea and Samaria.

"All Palestinian complaints related to Israeli colonies and the segregation barrier should be reviewed by fair and unbiased international courts, not Israeli," he stressed.

"We should face the colonists' aggression and attacks by quick political movement and use of the international courts, after the Israeli courts proved to be useless and had never brought a single issue to an end," he said.

"This trend will gain momentum with the Palestinian factions in Cairo agreeing to renew the activities of the Palestinian Legislative Council," he said.

Assaf himself undermined his claim that Israel's courts never delivered fair verdicts when he boasted of winning cases against the Israeli Light Train in Jerusalem and an Israeli company that manufactures barbed wire.

Israel's Supreme Court has ruled in favor of PA Arabs and ordered the route of Israel's security fence altered in their favor numerous times. In other cases it has ordered the IDF to make security exceptions for PA farmers whose lands are separated from their homes by the security fence.

Legal observers note that Israel withdrew from the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court and that the International Criminal Court's jurisdiction in contentious cases is limited by consent of the parties to the dispute. Israel would be under no obligation to agree to ICJ jurisdiction effectively limiting the court to issuing an advisory opinion.

A 2004 ruling by the ICJ that Israel's security fence must be removed was rejected by the Jewish state. At the time, Israel issued a 246 page written statement to the court, but chose not to participate in the proceedings.

PA refusal to seek redress in Israel's courts, legal observers say, will only serve to remove a tool that has frequently proven effective while petitioning international courts using proxies – as the PA is not a state and has no standing – will prove ineffective.

Assaf's comments come on the same day PA chairman Mahmoud Abbas and Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh declared Hamas would join the PLO and that they would be forming a unity government.

The announcement was made one day after PLO officials threatened to downgrade all bilateral agreements with Israel and to completely sever security ties.

Also on Wednesday, PLO officials told reporters they had decided on "a strategy based on continuous efforts along with the international community to secure full recognition and full United Nations membership, pursuing internal reconciliation, and keeping up the popular resistance."

Hamas has steadfastly refused any diplomatic process with Israel and continues to call for the murder of Jews and destruction of Israel. Likewise, the PLO charter continues to assert "Armed struggle is the only way to liberate Palestine. This it is the overall strategy, not merely a tactical phase.”

It also maintains “Palestine” is defined by the British Mandate and is “indivisible” – thus leaving no room for Israel to exist at all.

I’m the administrator of a Windows NT 4.0 network, and we use system policies extensively. Do you know an easy way to figure out which registry locations are associated with various policies in the System Policy Editor (SPE—i.e., poledit.exe)?

A. To correlate an NT 4.0 system policy and the registry value to which it refers, you can examine the .adm template file that generates the .pol system policy file (e.g., ntconfig.pol). The .adm files contain sections that define the individual policies you see when you use the SPE. By default, each policy file includes two .adm files—winnt.adm and common.adm—which reside in an NT 4.0 system's \%systemroot%\inf folder (e.g., C:\winnt\inf). A policy file can include additional .adm template files, which you might also want to inspect. To examine an .adm file, use a text editor such as Notepad or my personal favorite, IDM Computer Solutions' UltraEdit (available at the IDM Web site).

When you understand the .adm files' format and contents, you can identify each policy, its related registry location, and its possible values. For information about how to interpret the files' contents, see Kathy Ivens, "Distributing Registry Changes," Windows 2000 Magazine, April 2001. For information about the templates' keywords and structure, see the Microsoft white paper "Implementing Profiles and Policies for Windows NT 4.0" at the Microsoft Windows NT Server Web site.

If you work frequently with NT 4.0 system policies and need better management tools than those that come with the OS, you might want to look into two excellent third-party policy-management tools: Tools4ever's Policy Template Editor or FullArmor's FAZAM for Windows NT. These tools simplify the process of viewing and customizing policy template files and their related system policies.

Microsoft Says It Hasn't Forgotten About Windows Phone Fans

Microsoft Says It Hasn't Forgotten About Windows Phone Fans

Stay calm and carry on, folks

After dealing with angst-filled complaints from Windows Phone users for months, Microsoft's Joe Belfiore this week tried to reassure fans that the firm "hadn't forgotten about" them. But he did so via the Chinese microblogging service Weibo, which would make sense if those frustrated fans lived in China. Which ... they don't.

This kind of thing makes me crazy—if only Microsoft had some other means of communicating with these fans. Maybe a corporate blog of some kind? No?—because it's emblematic of the inability to communicate that has hobbled Microsoft for years. And of the disconnect that the firm still has with its biggest fans, many of whom are thinking of jumping ship because "mobile first, cloud first" apparently really means "iOS and Android first, then we'll see what happens."

And seriously, I'm all about the brave face and stiff upper lip and all. But come on. Weibo?

Anyway, when it comes to improving mobile Office, suffice to say that 2014 saw the first-ever releases of full-blown Office for iPad, iPhone and Android, major improvements to Office Online, and absolutely no changes at all to the Office Mobile that's built-into Windows Phone, an app that dates back several years now with few if any improvements along the way. (There hasn't been a single meaningful change to Office Mobile since Windows Phone 8.0 shipped over two years ago, at the very least.)

What we did know before Belfiore's Weibo post was that Microsoft has been plotting an "Office Touch for Windows" for years, and that over time things have evolved. Now, Office Touch will be a universal app that works on both Windows and Windows Phone. And now it will be artificially delayed until the release of Windows 10, which paradoxically should see the "end" of Windows Phone anyway, since it will be reportedly melded with Windows RT into a single product. So Office Touch for Windows won't ship—in final form at least—until late 2015. Or later if Windows 10 is delayed again.

So. What did Mr. Belfiore actually communicate?

"I want to acknowledge the comments and letters you all have sent, noting that you've been frustrated seeing Microsoft launch new applications like Office on iOS and Android, without accompanying news around what will happen on Windows Phone," he wrote in his post. "I want to assure you that our Office team has not forgotten about Windows Phone – we're just aligning all of our news and announcements to a single event. You'll hear much more about what we have planned before Chinese New Year."

A quick Google Search reveals date is Thursday, February 19. Microsoft is holding a Windows 10 event in Redmond on January 21, which is almost exactly a month before that, so I suppose we should expect this news at that event or at some China-based event, perhaps, which could happen in the interim.

Don't live in China? Then you'll thrill to learn that Microsoft is also working hard to improve Windows Phone ... specifically for China. That stuff will be revealed in the coming months and ... whatever.

I assume and hope that Belfiore is simply trying to keep a lid on what Microsoft will announce later this month and that 2015 will be nothing like 2014. But as a long-suffering Windows Phone fan, I've received precious little good news this past year. I do understand the need to attract the next billion. But let's not actually forget about your current users and biggest fans in the process, Microsoft. Please.

Networking: The Heart of a Connected Home

Impress visitors to your connected home with your ability to stay in touch no matter where you are or what you're doing. A solid network infrastructure is a must-have feature for any modern home, and the cost of installation is small compared to the benefits you'll get over the life of the home. Today you'll use the network mostly for Internet access, but in the future you may use it for voice communication, home automation, and security monitoring.

World without Wires

Wireless networking, most notably the affordable 802.11b standard, is a great way to connect mobile computers such as notebook PCs or handheld devices. Wireless cards are available in nearly every interface and form factor, including PC Card (CardBus), Compact Flash, and USB. Imagine yourself reading email with your iPaq while sitting on your deck and enjoying a cool drink. Or, use a wireless network connection to turn your TV time into quality Internet time. Add an 802.11b wireless card to a notebook PC and cruise the Internet while watching your favorite show.

Are you retrofitting 21st-century technology into a 19th-century home? Wireless networking can come to the rescue. Plug in a PCI or USB wireless adapter for each of your desktop computers and they'll be on the Internet in a flash. Even if you have a wired network in the house, often a network outlet is not right where you want it. With a wireless adapter, outlet access is no longer a problem.

Still, wireless networks have their limits. For one, they run only at 11 megabits per second at best. When signal levels are weak—for example, the signal goes through too many walls or over too long a distance—the network will drop to 5.5 megabits or less. The actual distances for good transmission vary from about 50 feet to 300 feet, depending on the brand of equipment you use and the type of construction in the house. Because 801.11b networks share the 2.4-gigahertz frequency range with equipment such as wireless phones and cameras, interference can occur. To get the best signal, you should place the wireless access point in a central location in the house, with the smallest number of solid obstructions as possible between the access point and the receivers.

A new 802.11g standard is emerging that will allow higher speeds (up to 54 megabits per second) and that will be compatible with existing 802.11b equipment. Products based on 802.11g won't arrive until late 2002, though. Products have already started to ship for an 802.11a standard that also transmits at up to 54 megabits per second, but uses the 5-gigahertz frequency range. The 802.11a products are more expensive than 802.11b and are not compatible because they use a different frequency. For now, it looks like 802.11b is the safest bet. Prices for 801.11b adapters are already under $100, so you can always upgrade to an 802.11a/g network in a year or two when prices drop and a winner is clear.

The Wired Option

Given the limits of wireless, it's a good idea to install a wired network where feasible. Wired networks offer higher speeds, less interference, and better security. The actual cost of wire is almost nothing; you can get 1,000 feet of quality Category 5 (100 megabit) cable for about $50. Labor costs will determine whether a wired network makes sense. For new construction, the answer is clear: do it. Running wire is never easier than when the house is being built. Make at least one cable run from each room in the house to a central wiring area that will have the network hub.

In a finished home, running wires behind walls without disturbing the look can require a lot of work. Getting wires to any location is usually possible as long as an unfinished space, such as a garage, basement, or attic, adjoins the area you want to wire. In a carpeted room, often you can tuck the wire under the baseboard in the gap that covers the edge of the carpet.

Plan to install plenty of wiring for a home office. Make separate wiring runs to each wall where equipment may be located so that you can avoid the use of long extension or patch cables. If you plan to share the printer in your home office with other PCs in the house, consider using a LAN-connected printer instead of plugging the printer into your PC and sharing it using the operating system. That way, your home office PC doesn't need to be on for others to use the printer.

A utility room or basement is a good location for the central wiring area, where the home's video, telephone, and network wiring converges. Ideally, this location should be near the center of the house to minimize the length of the wiring runs. If the location is an unfinished room and appearance isn't critical, the equipment can simply be attached to the wall on a piece of plywood. For a tidier look, mount the equipment in cabinets or boxes recessed into the finished walls.

If you plan to use wireless networking, you can use any of your wired network outlets for your wireless access point. A good location for the access point can make a big difference in the range and signal quality. Walls and large metal objects such as refrigerators can block the signal. Choose a spot that minimizes the distance to any wireless device, and try turning the antenna by ninety degrees if the signal seems weak. Access points are small and quiet, so they won't spoil the décor of the room no matter where you put them.

When you set up a home network, you should make sure that data meant for inside the home stays inside the home, and only the traffic you want goes out onto the Internet. That's the purpose of a firewall, and every home network should have one. A firewall is especially important for homes with always-on connections such as cable modem or DSL. Internet e-vandals are always looking for a challenge, and leaving an unguarded system attached to your Internet connection is an invitation they won't ignore.

You can create a firewall between your home network and the Internet in several ways. One low-cost way is to use a software firewall, such as the Internet Connection Firewall (ICW) feature of Microsoft Windows XP. The PC running ICW uses two network connections, one to the Internet and one to the local network. ICW will pass only the network traffic that you authorize, and will block incoming requests from attackers. The downside is that the ICW system must be on at all times so that it can do the Internet routing. This may be inconvenient, especially if you plan to use the system as a desktop workstation as well.

A dedicated hardware firewall is usually more convenient than using a PC as a firewall. Today's firewall appliances are typically not much larger than a telephone, and they don't have any moving parts such as fans that would make them noisy and unacceptable in some rooms. Some firewall appliances have additional features such as a built-in network wiring hub or wireless access point. The ultimate all-in-one solution is the residential gateway, which combines cable modem, wireless networking, and firewall functionality in a single box. Even with all these features, a firewall appliance typically costs much less than a single PC.

Security is a particular concern for wireless networks. By default, most wireless setups are very open to outsiders. Your wireless access point will be behind the firewall so that wireless devices have access to other devices in the home. Unfortunately, that lets anyone with a wireless network card in a notebook connect to your network without ever going inside your home. That would give them access to all the traffic moving within your house, exposing shared resources such as drives and printers. Clearly, you'll want to prevent this situation.

All the wireless technologies include the ability to encrypt transmissions to prevent eavesdropping. However, you must enable it and enter the security key on every wireless device you install. This is well worth the small amount of time it takes during setup. The resulting network isn't totally hacker-proof though. Researchers have shown that it is still possible to break into wireless networks by collecting and analyzing enough traffic, but only a determined hacker who was physically close enough to pick up the transmissions could do this. For most home networks, merely encrypting the data will put an end to the most common threat of casual or opportunistic snooping.

Using the Network

Once the network is up and running, you can use it in a number of ways. In the family room, you can connect advanced game consoles to the Internet to play against other users all over the world. Do you have a ReplayTV personal video recorder? You can connect it directly to your network and it will download program listings over the Internet. It even lets you share recorded content with other ReplayTV users. While watching TV, you can open your notebook and use the wireless network connection to search for more information on the show's subject.

Families spend a lot of time in the kitchen, which means that a network connection is important there, too. Kids seem to have a magnetic attraction to the kitchen table when it comes to doing homework, and who can do homework these days without Internet research? A wireless connection and a notebook PC come in handy for these situations. You might also want a wall-mounted display so you can stay in touch with the outside world while cooking. Pull up some new recipes, check this afternoon's weather, or just cruise the Internet while you wait for chocolate chip cookies to bake.

Are your kids safe while using the Internet without your supervision? It doesn't hurt to have a little technology on your side. Content filtering software can block sites with adult content, and they can keep a log of where the kids have been visiting. Software-based solutions install on each PC, so you would need to install a separate copy on each system used by the kids. There are also firewall-based content filters that can block or monitor all the Internet activity from any device in the house.

Although content filters can be useful, especially for young children, don't count on them to be foolproof. Sometimes a content filter can incorrectly block content that is okay, or cause reliability problems on the PC. Older kids can often find a way to circumvent software-based content filters, or they may just go to a computer that doesn't have content filtering. Clearly, you have to use your own judgment and make sure your kids know their boundaries. If you decide to use the monitoring features, let them know you are keeping an eye on them.

Sharing an Internet connection for browsing is the primary justification for today's home networks, but it may not stay that way for long. ReplayTV is one example of why the future home needs a solid networking infrastructure. When manufacturers see a growing market of connected homes, they will begin to create products that take advantage of built-in networking. Imagine, for example, a box that retrieves the current local weather forecast from the National Weather Service over the Internet and speaks it over a speaker using text-to-speech conversion. Push one button in the morning and you'd always know whether to bring the umbrella.

Understanding Global.asa

Discover the heart of your ASP applications

As Web applications become more powerful, they become more complex. Fortunately, with the continual flow of new technologies and tools from Microsoft, developers and IIS administrators can build and administer applications they wouldn't have considered just a few years ago.

The global.asa file in an Active Server Pages (ASP) application is the foundation of these complex Web applications. In global.asa, software developers can design and build the basis for powerful, scalable, and high-performance Web applications. Global.asa is also a place where developers frequently make disastrous mistakes—mistakes that bring IIS servers down. To effectively administer and troubleshoot the ASP applications running on your IIS machines, you need to understand the global.asa file.

The Rules, Structure, and Function of Global.asa
Global.asa is an editable text-based file that consists entirely of server-side script. Global.asa can contain any script-compliant language (VBScript is the most common language), but it contains no HTML that renders content to a browser. If you edit the file—or even if you save the file without making any changes to it—IIS recompiles it. For more information about how global.asa executes, see the sidebar "The Global.asa Execution Process," page 2. Global.asa has two important roles.

Storing event script code. Global.asa stores event script code that the Web application automatically executes when the appropriate conditions are met. For example, the Session_OnStart event fires each time a new user accesses a resource on a Web site. Session_OnStart establishes session state, which is a temporary store for user session information. When the session ends (or times out), the Session_OnEnd event fires. Session_OnStart might include code that reads a cookie containing explicit and implicit user preferences for a Web site. (Explicit preferences are those preferences that the user specifically defines, such as favorite colors and links. Implicit user preferences are those preferences that the Web application automatically gathers, such as last product viewed and most frequently visited page.) The Session_OnEnd event might then include event code that automatically updates the implicit user preferences in the user's cookie. The Session_OnStart and Session_OnEnd events assume that the Web site supports session state. (To enable session state on your Web site, see the sidebar "Enabling Session State,"page 2.)

Housing globally used objects. Global.asa facilitates defining items (i.e., objects and variables stored in memory) that become globally available to the Web application. For example, later in this article you'll see an application-level variable called MSCSEnv that has the value PRODUCTION. This value means that anywhere in the Web site, you can use logic in the form

Do something that you would
do only in a production environment

  Do something that you would do only in a development environment
End If

A global.asa file isn't required for all Web applications. Static Web sites, for example, don't need the functionality that global.asa provides. But if you use a global.asa file in your application, you can have only one per application, and you must name the file global.asa. Additionally, global.asa must reside in the Web application's root directory or the file won't function.

Application Scope
Global.asa files include two types of global variables: those with application scope and those with session scope. A variable with application scope is available to the entire Web application. You can change the value of an application-level variable, but if you do so while the Web application is running, IIS automatically stops all processing while IIS updates the cache.

At a client site recently, I saw an interesting Web architecture in which the Web application read a list of products from a database, then assigned that information to an application-level variant-array variable in the Application_OnStart event. Then, when any page in the site needed to display the list of products, the Web server didn't need to go back to the database to grab the list because it was available. The application's performance was spectacular. Unfortunately, this strategy works only for a site with a static list of products. A second client employed a similar architecture in a site in which products changed daily. When users on the site requested the product list, they had to wait 30 to 45 seconds while the Web server reread the database and updated the value of the application-level variable.

Session Scope
A variable with session scope is a global variable that's available to the entire Web application but specific to a user's session. Session scope facilitates user-level assignment of variables, such as favorite color.

Session-state management is one of the most difficult parts of Web programming. Unlike Win32 programming, in which you take for granted that when you define a global variable you can use that variable throughout the application's programs, Web programming doesn't guarantee that a variable's life will continue from one Web-application page to the next. A variable that you assign in one ASP page won't be available for use in a subsequent page.

When Microsoft introduced session-level variables to ASP, they seemed like a simple way to assign variables and keep their information available as the user moved from page to page. However, session-level variables don't scale; in fact, they cripple an IIS Web server as more users access a site. As a rule of thumb, never use session-level variables on public sites; on intranet and extranet sites, use these variables only when you can predict and control loads.

Dissecting Global.asa
Now, let's take a look at a portion of a very complex global.asa file—the global.asa file for Microsoft Commerce Server 2000's retail solution site. (You can install this sample site when you install Commerce Server on your machine.) This global.asa file and all its include (.inc) files comprise more than 5000 lines of code. Listing 1 shows an excerpt from the Commerce Server global.asa file. You can download this global.asa file excerpt from the Code Library on the Windows Web Solutions Web site (http://www.windowswebsolutions.com).

The code at callout A in Listing 1 is a good example of an important global.asa function: type library definitions. A type library is a file that contains information about objects and types that a COM component supports. You define type libraries in the global.asa file so that in the ASP code that makes up a Web site's pages, you can use the constants declared in the COM component. Type library definitions (in fact, all metadata declarations) can appear anywhere in the global.asa file, but placing them first is a good programming practice because they're easier to find, read, and maintain.

The next statement defines the scripting language in which the global.asa file is written—in this case, server-side VBScript. The Option Explicit statement in the next line, although unnecessary in ASP code, forces you to declare all variables before you use them.

The code at callout B defines, in the form of constants, the properties of text boxes used in the Web site. Constants are variables to which you assign a value that doesn't change. Using constants saves memory and organizes variable definitions. Notice the L_ at the beginning of each constant name. This letter stands for localizable. This naming convention makes using automated tools to convert ASP sites from English, for example, into other spoken languages easy.

The code at callout C declares the global variables that the script will eventually define as application level. In the code at callout D, notice the environment variable MSCSEnv (Microsoft Commerce Server Environment), which I mentioned earlier. The Application_OnStart event defines this variable as an application-level variable so that it will be available in every page in the Web site and sets its value to PRODUCTION. Then, the script calls the Main() function. Main is declared in the global_main_lib.asp include file that accompanies the Commerce Server global.asa file. Defining include files makes reading global.asa files much easier. You can imagine how confusing and intimidating a 5000-line global.asa file would be.

Notice that this global.asa file doesn't call the Application_OnEnd event—everything in the Web application automatically shuts down when the application shuts down, so you don't need to specifically call the event. Also, like most ASP sites, the Commerce Server retail solution site doesn't use session state because it doesn't scale. By design, the Session_OnStart and Session_OnEnd events aren't declared. (Commerce Server uses a sophisticated state-management system built on Microsoft SQL Server and COM. This system is declared in the global.asa file's include files.)

Peeking Under the Covers
Knowing what goes on under the covers of the Web applications running on your IIS servers is important for good IIS administration and can help you understand resource consumption. Understanding the global.asa file is a great place to start when you're trying to understand the inner workings of a Web application. This knowledge will also help you diagnose problems if your IIS servers degrade under heavy loads.

Next month, I'll begin a three-part series about optimizing IIS for ASP.NET applications. The first article will explore ASP.NET's web.config file. Web.config is the Microsoft .NET equivalent of the global.asa file, but it's more controllable and, therefore, much more powerful.

VBScripting Solutions: Extending WSH with the Functionality in Wshextra.dll

In "An Improved GUI Component for Data Entry," January 2002, InstantDoc ID 23369, I showed you a GUI component for improving users' data-entry experience. Historically, both Microsoft and other developers have neglected to provide much data-entry scripting help. In VBScript and Windows Script Host (WSH), you can rely only on the InputBox function. My component—VbsInput.InputBox—provides for password and number-only text boxes. It also supports multiline text so that you can collect larger amounts of text easily.

This month, I show you another COM object, wshextra.dll, that improves WSH's basic functionality. (You can download wshextra.dll from the Code Library on the Windows Scripting Solutions Web site at http://www.winscripting solutions.com.) Wshextra.dll consists of three components, each of which fills a gap in the WSH programming interface. The first component—the Clipboard object—lets your WSH application move data to and from the clipboard. The other two components—the FileQuery object and the FileChooser object— make up for missing but useful functionality in the Scripting.FileSystemObject object. The Scripting.FileSystemObject object provides a collection-based interface for accessing individual files in a given folder, but you can't filter the enumerated files based on a pattern. For example, using the Scripting.FileSystemObject object's methods, you can't select only the .bmp files in a folder. Instead, the methods will return all the files in a folder, then you must choose the files you want.

The Clipboard Object
The clipboard is a Windows component that works as a systemwide mailbox on which any application can store and retrieve data of a certain type. The clipboard repository is common to all applications running at any time. WSH applications are no exception, but the WSH object model doesn't provide for moving data to and from the clipboard.

Being able to access the clipboard is important because it represents yet another way to synchronize scripts and share information among scripts. (For more details about the synchronization of concurrently running scripts, see "Emulating Windows Synchronization Objects," November 2001, InstantDoc ID 22709.) For example, a script could calculate some values and make them available to other scripts through the clipboard rather than a disk file. Similarly, a script could easily retrieve data that any running application (e.g., Microsoft Word) might have stored.

Because the clipboard is open to all applications on the system, the contents are somewhat volatile. You can't be sure that one application will effectively read what another application has copied to the clipboard or that another application won't overwrite the clipboard data in the meantime. The clipboard isn't a list, and any new application that copies data ends up overwriting existing data.

Clipboard content is organized by data formats. The clipboard uses a data-type system that's different from the one you find in the common programming languages. For example, no numeric type or date type exists. Allowed types are mostly variations of two basic types: text and image. If needed, you can also create and register custom formats.

The WshExtra.Clipboard object that I illustrate supports only one data format: raw text. Usually, applications copy information to the clipboard in multiple formats to be able to reach a wider range of clients. For example, when you select text from a Word file and press Ctrl+C, the program copies the data to the clipboard as raw text, Rich Text Format (RTF), and HTML. Client applications use the format they know how to process. The WshExtra.Clipboard object can read only raw text and write only raw ASCII text. Let's see how this process works in practice.

After you've successfully registered the wshextra.dll library with the system, you use the code

Dim clip
Set clip = CreateObject _

to create a new instance of the Clipboard object. The Clipboard object features only two methods—Copy and Paste—whose signature is straightforward. The Copy method takes the text that you want to copy to the clipboard as a string argument:

clip.Copy "Hello, world"

The Paste method reads any text content it finds in the clipboard and returns it as a string:

Dim strText
strText = clip.Paste()

Listing 1 demonstrates a WSH utility called CopyClipboard.vbs that writes to disk the text that it reads from the clipboard. If you improve the code slightly to create files with a unique name and put the code file on the Taskbar, you have a quick tool to make persistent any text you find interesting while scrolling through documents. You just select the text, copy it to the clipboard, then click the Taskbar button to run the script. The result is a new text file, created in a given folder, that holds all your notes.

The FileQuery Object
The Scripting.FileSystemObject object's methods represent the typical way in which a WSH application walks through the subfolders and files of a given folder. The code in Listing 2 demonstrates how to enumerate all the files on the C drive. The code to process all subfolders of a given folder is nearly identical to the code in Listing 2. You simply use the SubFolders property instead of the Files property on the object that represents the folder.

Having files and subfolders available through distinct collection is helpful in some cases, but the Scripting.FileSystemObject object's programming interface doesn't allow for any kind of pattern matching. If you need to access only files with a given extension or files whose name matches a certain pattern, you must start with the code in Listing 2, then verify whether each filename has the characteristics that you want. Instead, what about a new object that accepts a filename description, including wildcards, and automatically returns only the files that match? Furthermore, what if this object made no distinction between files and subfolders? The FileQuery object works in just this way. This set of features makes the FileQuery object a sort of COM counterpart of the Dir command.

To create a new instance of the FileQuery object, you use the code

Dim fileQuery
Set fileQuery = CreateObject _

The FileQuery object provides two properties: FileSpec and Count. The FileSpec property lets you specify the expression that the selected file and folder names have to match (e.g., .bmp). The expression can also include folder names and use the question mark (?) wildcard. For example, C:\?y* is a valid pattern that would select files and folders with a name that begins with any single character followed by a y and has any trailing substring. Such an expression picks up files and folders such as C:\system volume information and C:\my apps. The Count property is a read-only attribute that returns the number of elements selected. FileSpec is a read-write attribute.

To walk through the collection of retrieved elements, you use VBScript's For Each...Next statement. The code in Listing 3 shows how to use the FileQuery object. The code concatenates the names of the files found along the way and adds the value of the Count property. The element returned at each iteration is a simple string consisting of the filename or folder name. However, when you know the name of a file, you can create an instance of the File object within the Scripting.FileSystemObject library and exploit the library's full set of properties and methods to retrieve a Dir-style listing with name and size. The code in Listing 4 creates such a list. (Note that the code in Listing 4 fails if the user specifies a filter that returns folders in addition to files because folders aren't a valid input for the FileSystemObject object's GetFile method. For example, the code will fail if the user specifies all files (*.*).

The FileChooser Object
The FileQuery object lets you select only those files that match certain criteria. But what if the application requires the selection of individual files that don't obey common criteria? What if you make the selection interactively? In this case, the FileQuery object isn't enough—you need the FileChooser object. This object's UI lets you browse for and select files in a Windows Explorertype window. To create a new instance of the FileChooser object, you use the code

Dim fileChooser
Set fileChooser = CreateObject _

The FileChooser object provides three properties: Title, Filter, and FileCount. The Title property lets you get and set the browser window's caption. The Filter property lets you customize the Files of type drop-down list with the file types you want to display in the window. This window usually contains a pattern such as All files (*.*). The FileCount property is a read-only property that returns the number of selected files.

The Filter property is a string made up of description-and-pattern pairs. You define a new pair for each type of file you want to appear in the filter drop-down list. You must separate each element of the pair (and each pair) with a pipe (|) character:

Because the FileChooser object parses the string and populates the filter drop-down list, the string must terminate with a pipe character. If you want to use multiple file extensions for a particular file type, use a semicolon (;) to separate the extensions. For example, to fill the filter drop-down list with "Picture files (*.jpg;*.gif)" and "All files (*.*)", the Filter property must take the form

fileChooser.Filter = _
  "Picture files|*.jpg;*.gif|" _
    & "All files|*.*|"

The FileChooser object's Browse method displays the system's common dialog box for file selection and allows for multiple file selection. The method accepts a string as the folder to search, as in

sFiles = _

and returns a specially formatted string. If you specify only one file, the Browse method's return string is simply the file's fully qualified name. If you specify more than one file, the return string contains the name of the folder that contains all the selected files plus their filenames. A pipe character separates each item name from the others. The folder name is important because the dialog box's UI lets you dynamically change the folder. Thus, there's no guarantee that the folder passed as the call's argument is also the folder from which you've selected files. The code in Listing 5 demonstrates how to process the string that the Browse method returns.

You use VBScript's Split function to parse the body of the string, extract the pipe-separated items, and populate an array. If you've selected more than one file, the first item in the array must end with a backslash (\) and consist of the folder's path. Subsequent items are the name and extension of each file. The FileChooser object doesn't support file selection across multiple folders.

Beyond Native WSH Functionality
The Clipboard, FileQuery, and FileChooser objects provide three functionalities that WSH doesn't natively provide. They let you move data to and from the clipboard, select files interactively through a system dialog box, and filter a folder's content, respectively. The average WSH application probably doesn't need these rather advanced functionalities, but you can't achieve their functionality in any other way.
