Search Mapped Drives (U) For A Txt File
Jan 28, 2012
I need any kind of script that will search through the network drives for a txt file called "Don'tDelete.txt" There is one drive the "U:\" drive and on there is 100 different folders with the "Don'tDelete.txt" file in it. Now every "Don'tDelete.txt" is different. I need the script to find these files, combine them all together into one new txt file locate in the "U:\Newfolder" so later on I can drop the new txt file onto my flash drive.

I need to create an application that will restore a user's mapped drives from a database. To do this, I need to create a script that will automatically back up the user's mapped drives on logon.
What would be the best way to go about doing this?

In VB.NET, how can I search all hard-drives (regardless of whatever a machine has C, D or more) for specific file types (for example .mp3)? I want the file path to be return along with the file size.

I am writing a program in VB 2008 and need to search for SD Card Slots and monitor them. When a card is inserted I want to check for a files and folders and make a button active to upload the data. I take it this needs to be working in the background as I want to be able to perform other functions while monitoring fo the drives.How would I do this and can you check if a removeable drive is SD/MMC, CF, MS, etc?

I was using the following code to check the file size of a data file on my local machine. Now the data files have been moved to a mapped network drive and this code no longer works. What do I need to change or how do I access file size on a mapped drive?
Dim MyFile As New FileInfo(MyFilePath)
Dim FileSize As Long = MyFile.Length

SPECS: Visual Basic 2008 - SP1/2, Framework 3.0.3.5, Windows XP Pro, SP3? trying to wright code for checking for existing files but what has me stumped is the (WHAT IF PART) of it witch in fact is what I want to see. What im saying is can I find a file without knowing where it is on all drives? Or how can i find a folder if I dont know where they installed it to.
Example: I know that C:Perfect World International <--- is the default location where my game installs but what if I installed it on D:Perfect World International; or rather on drive G or H. How would I test to see if it exist without making a bunch of nested If statements to test every drive for it.
this also applies to files like: D:Perfect World EntertainmentPerfect World Internationalelementelementclient.exe is there a way to find these files to see if they exist. I know that Perfect world international does not use the program files to put there program files in as you see above. so Envirnment variables I think cant be used correct me if I'm wrong. BUT I know the registry of a computer keeps some stord information as to where these applications are installed to like (References App Data).
What I'm trying to do is use this to tell the user in a Label that the game is installed in this path but I know in some circumstances the game is not installed on drive C: or D: or even in this directory some users can install it in there own directory such as C:PWI. and as such the file elementclient.exe can even be in C:PWIelementclient.exe. So to sum it all up can this be found useing some sort of code to find the file and folder and return them both in 2 difrent labels like this
Game Is Installed In: C:Perfect World International
Game Client Name: elementclient.exe, C:Perfect World Internationalelement
Game Found On Drive: C:
ETC.
I'm thinking and keep thinking that this can be done in many ways but as for environment variables I'm stumped. But perhaps windows registry may play a role in doing this but I myself don't even know where this stuff may be found; and even more how to apply it to code.

I am unable to run batch file that is located in mapped network drive using System.Diagnostics.Process in VB.Net. I get:'<batchfilename>.bat' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.Press any key to continue..I get the same error when navigate to the folder (using explorer) that contains this batch file and double click it. I can successfully run the batch file by changing the directory to that folder through command prompt. I can't figure out why this is happening. I think the problem is Start() function of Process works like double click rather than just run the batch file.

I've written a VB.NET program for a client that stores all of its data in XML files. I use the XMLReader to read the data into a dataset. When I run the sub to encrypt the XML file, I'll get the following message: Error: mscorlib: The requested operation cannot be performed on a file with a user-mapped section open.
It doesn't happen all the time, so I know it does work. But on occassion, I'll get this message. I've been all over the forums and I've tried everything I've read to try and stop this error.
I close the reader object and set it equal to Nothing. I've even tried using DoEvents to make sure the object finished closing before running the Encrypt sub. Nothing has helped.
I develop on a x32 PC. It works fine on the development machine. But then, when the client runs it on a x64 PC, he gets these errors. Could the x64 system really be running so fast that the .Close() and the = Nothing and evern the .DoEvents() can't keep up?

I'm creating a search function to search through a binary file and find a record based on the users input. Surprisingly, that isn't the problem! The problem I'm having is that as part of this I'm using a procedure to display results in text boxes, and I'm getting the error "Too many arguments to private sub display customer"I've encountered this error before, but never really knew what it was... Here is my code.
Private Sub btnSearch_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnSearch.Click
FilenameCust = "F:\College\CustomersFile.bin"

I'm trying to get a list of current hard drives (that part is done), but then go through the list one by one and remove those that have no size (dvd drives for example). I'm sure this is horribly wrong (4 errors are shown in the list). Could someone give me a hand?
Here is what I have so far:
ComboBoxHD.Items.AddRange(System.IO.Directory.GetLogicalDrives)
Dim dInfo As New System.IO.Directory
For Each drive As System.IO.Directory In dInfo.GetLogicalDrives()

I'm in need of a way to find the original path of a substituted (Virtual) drive, set with the subst command.
Start -> Run -> type "cmd"
[code]
subst l: c:\scripts
[\code]
This create a virtual drive that points to c:\scripts\
in .net an easy way to get all the drives on the computer is using the Drive property of My.Computer.FileSystem. However, this will give you the current substitued name of the drive. Is there a way to find the original path?
I get the path of the virtual drives mapped to network folders using WNetGetConnectionA of mpr.dll, However, this only resolves mapped network drives.
I currently don't have away to find the original path of LOCAL virtual drives.

there is function that forces explorer.exe to refresh (and new drive icon appear). Then I can access it.My issue is that I have start up script(gpedit.msc-windows settings-cripts to mount several disks by using SUBST command.But Windows Explorer not shows them after start up.- It's enough to kill explorer.exe and then start it again.

I am having problems verifying that the drive is mapped. The code I have is this:For the Public Class I have this:
Dim wshNet As New IWshRuntimeLibrary.WshNetwork
wshNet.MapNetworkDrive("Z:", "\\10.21.2.218\Share", True, "wecon\sophosuser", "soweco")
To remove the drive I am using:
'wshNet.RemoveNetworkDrive ("Z:\", False, False)
What I am looking for is how to verify that the z drive is mapped, and if so then run the unmapping drive command.When I try to use a if wshNet. anything the stupid thing won't return a true or false value?I searched all through the net to find some sort of If drive mapped = true, however nothing comes up that I can implement.

I read about the UNC path, but that doesn't seem to be making much difference, it may be that I need a user name and password for the connection, can anyone demonstrate code that allows username and password entry so that a file can copy to and from a mapped network drive or the UNC is "\serverarchiveJune"
