VBS open network folder

[andydis]

Hey edugeek, its tooo early in the morning for me to see where im going wrong on this,

 

We have recently changed the students home drives to \\server4\studentname$

 

However my old VBS script to open students folders was pointing to \\server4\students$\studentname

 

 

Can anybody help me change my vbs script?

thanks!

 

p.s. i have tried "& fname$ but it didnt like it

 

 

 

Dim fname

fname=InputBox("Enter students username FOR EXAMPLE 09smith:")

MsgBox("You typed " & fname)

Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

WshShell.Run "%windir%\explorer \\server4\students$\"& fname

WshShell.Run "%windir%\explorer \\server4\" & fname & "$"

 

Not sure if that will do it, but worth a shot
