Just a quick share, I always found this small VB script extremely handy to access files on my flash drive. It only requires a decent memory (mentally) to partially remember file names and a love for your keyboard is also applicable. Code: If WScript.Arguments.Count = 0 Then WScript.Quit If Len(WScript.Arguments(0)) = 0 Then WScript.Quit Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") SearchPath = "F:\" SearchStr = LCase(WScript.Arguments.Item(0)) If InStr(SearchStr, ":") Then SearchName = Mid(SearchStr, InStr(SearchStr, ":") + 1) SearchProp = Mid(SearchStr, 1, InStr(SearchStr, ":") - 1) Else SearchName = SearchStr SearchProp = "" End If SearchAttr = 0 If WScript.Arguments.Count >= 2 Then SearchAttr2 = LCase(WScript.Arguments.Item(1)) If InStr(SearchAttr2, "r") Then SearchAttr = (SearchAttr OR 1) If InStr(SearchAttr2, "h") Then SearchAttr = (SearchAttr OR 2) If InStr(SearchAttr2, "s") Then SearchAttr = (SearchAttr OR 4) If InStr(SearchAttr2, "d") Then SearchAttr = (SearchAttr OR 16) Else SearchAttr2 = "" End If Set Found = CreateObject("System.Collections.ArrayList") If objFSO.FolderExists(SearchPath) Then Find objFSO.GetFolder(SearchPath), Found If Found.Count > 0 Then If Found.Count = 1 Then Run Found.Item(0) Else For i = 0 To Found.Count - 1 WScript.Echo "[" & (i + 1) & "]" & " " & Mid(Found.Item(i), IIf(Right(SearchPath, 1) = "\", Len(SearchPath), Len(SearchPath) + 1)) Next WScript.Echo "" WScript.StdOut.WriteLine ("Select" & " " & "[" & Found.Count & "]" & " " & ":") strPrompt = WScript.StdIn.ReadLine If IsNumeric(strPrompt) Then Prompt = CInt(strPrompt) If Prompt <= Found.Count Then Run Found.Item(Prompt - 1) End If End If End If Else MsgBox "No objects found", vbInformation End If End If Sub Run(strCommand) strCommand = Chr(34) & strCommand & Chr(34) If InStr(SearchProp, "n") And (SearchAttr AND 16) = 0 Then strCommand = "notepad" & " " & strCommand objShell.Run strCommand, 1, 0 End Sub Sub Find(objFolder, ByRef Found) If (SearchAttr AND 16) = 0 Then For Each objFile In objFolder.Files If IsMatch(objFile.Name) Then If (objFile.Attributes AND SearchAttr) = SearchAttr Then Found.Add(objFile.Path) End If End If Next End If For Each objFolder2 In objFolder.SubFolders If (SearchAttr AND 16) Then If IsMatch(objFolder2.Name) Then If (objFolder2.Attributes AND SearchAttr) = SearchAttr Then Found.Add(objFolder2.Path) End If End If End If Find objFolder2, Found Next End Sub Function IsMatch(Name) If InStr(SearchProp, "x") Then If LCase(Name) = SearchName Then IsMatch = True Else If InStr(LCase(Name), SearchName) Then IsMatch = True End If End Function Function IIf(Expression, TruePart, FalsePart) If Expression = True Then If IsObject(TruePart) Then Set IIf = TruePart Else IIf = TruePart Else If IsObject(FalsePart) Then Set IIf = FalsePart Else IIf = FalsePart End If End Function vbulletin messed up the formatting, you can optionally see the code here: pastebin.com/G34A6kT8 It basically works like this: You add the folder path containing the script file to the PATH variable. Next, relogon and run the script with a parameter from the run box. for example: go.vbsc auto Note that you will be typing the file extension because the windows shell doesn't automatically recognize VBS files if no extension has been specified. To solve this; create a shortcut in the same folder as the script and name to whatever you like. 'go myfile' will work now assuming that the shortcut is named 'go.lnk' Typing the full name is unnecessary, if the script matches more than one file then it will prompt for a selection. For an exact match, use the following syntax: go x:myfile To open the found file with notepad use: go n:myfile To match certain attributes, use a second argument: go myfile rhs will match read-only, hidden and system files To match a folder use: go myfolder d Important: It has to run in a command line environment. I advice to use a special 'vbsc' extension for command-line scripts. You can use this registry script if you wish: Code: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\VBSCFile] "FriendlyTypeName"=hex(2):40,00,25,00,53,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,52,\ 00,6f,00,6f,00,74,00,25,00,5c,00,53,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,33,00,\ 32,00,5c,00,77,00,73,00,68,00,65,00,78,00,74,00,2e,00,64,00,6c,00,6c,00,2c,\ 00,2d,00,34,00,38,00,30,00,32,00,00,00 @="VBScript Script File" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\VBSCFile\DefaultIcon] @=hex(2):25,00,53,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,52,00,6f,00,6f,00,74,00,25,\ 00,5c,00,53,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,33,00,32,00,5c,00,57,00,53,00,\ 63,00,72,00,69,00,70,00,74,00,2e,00,65,00,78,00,65,00,2c,00,32,00,00,00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\VBSCFile\ScriptEngine] @="VBScript" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\VBSCFile\ScriptHostEncode] @="{85131631-480C-11D2-B1F9-00C04F86C324}" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\VBSCFile\Shell] @="Open" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\VBSCFile\Shell\Edit] @="&Edit" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\VBSCFile\Shell\Edit\Command] @=hex(2):25,00,53,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,52,00,6f,00,6f,00,74,00,25,\ 00,5c,00,53,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,33,00,32,00,5c,00,4e,00,6f,00,\ 74,00,65,00,70,00,61,00,64,00,2e,00,65,00,78,00,65,00,20,00,25,00,31,00,00,\ 00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\VBSCFile\Shell\Open] @="&Open" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\VBSCFile\Shell\Open\Command] @=hex(2):25,00,53,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,52,00,6f,00,6f,00,74,00,25,\ 00,5c,00,53,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,33,00,32,00,5c,00,43,00,53,00,\ 63,00,72,00,69,00,70,00,74,00,2e,00,65,00,78,00,65,00,20,00,22,00,25,00,31,\ 00,22,00,20,00,25,00,2a,00,00,00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\VBSCFile\ShellEx] [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\VBSCFile\ShellEx\DropHandler] @="{60254CA5-953B-11CF-8C96-00AA00B8708C}" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\VBSCFile\ShellEx\PropertySheetHandlers] [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\VBSCFile\ShellEx\PropertySheetHandlers\WSHProps] @="{60254CA5-953B-11CF-8C96-00AA00B8708C}" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\.vbsc] @="VBSCFile" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\.vbsc\PersistentHandler] @="{5e941d80-bf96-11cd-b579-08002b30bfeb}" And ofcourse, to set the folder to search in on each execution, change the SearchPath variable. vbulletin messed up the formatting of this entire post, sorry for that..
