Working with Windows Shell32

Microsoft® Windows® Script Host (WSH) is a language-independent scripting host

for Windows Script compatible scripting engines. It brings simple, powerful, and
flexible scripting to the Windows 32-bit platform, allowing you to run scripts from
both the Windows desktop and the command prompt.
Windows Script Host is ideal for non-interactive scripting needs, such as logon
scripting, administrative scripting, and machine automation.
This section describes the Microsoft Windows objects implemented by the Shell32.
Object Description
The DiskQuotaControl object allows a client to manage an NTFS
DIDiskQuotaUser volume's global disk quota settings. This object makes the essential
functionality of the DIDiskQuotaUser interface

DiskQuotaControl The NTFS file system allows an administrator to manage disk usage on a
shared volume by allocating a specified amount of disk space, or quota

limit, to each user.

The Folder object represents a Shell folder. It contains properties and
Folder
methods that allow you to retrieve information about the folder.
Folder2 The Folder2 object extends the Folder object to support offline folders.
The FolderItem object represents an item in a Shell folder. It contains
FolderItem properties and methods that allow you to retrieve information about the
item.
The FolderItems object represents the collection of items in a Shell
FolderItems folder. It contains properties and methods that allow you to retrieve
information about the collection.
The FolderItems2 object extends the FolderItems object. It supports
FolderItems2
one additional method.
The FolderItems3 object extends the FolderItems2 object. It supports
FolderItems3
an additional method and property.
The FolderItemVerb object represents a single verb available to an
FolderItemVerb
item.

Managing Disk Quotas on the NTFS File System

Disk quotas are an integral part of the NTFS file system. When a file or a folder is
created on a volume formatted with NTFS, that item is assigned an owner (typically
the user who created the item). NTFS obtains the user ID of the file owner and
stores that information in the file or folder's Standard Information attribute. This
attribute tallies all the disk space allocated to the file or folder. NTFS then locates
the quota entry for that user and determines whether the new allocation of disk
space causes the user to exceed the assigned quota. If it does, NTFS then takes
the appropriate steps, which can include logging an entry in the System event log
or preventing the user from creating the file or folder. As the file or folder changes
size, NTFS updates the quota control entry to reflect the total disk space used by
the user.
Disk quotas are not configured on a computer-wide basis, but are instead tied to
individual NTFS volumes. Each drive has separate quota settings, and the actions
you take on one volume do not affect the other volumes.
When managing disk quotas on a computer, the actions you take on one volume do
not affect the other volumes in any way. If you allocate User A 50 MB of disk space
on drive C, this does not also give User A 50 MB of disk space on drives D and E. If
you disable disk quotas on drive D, quotas remain enabled on drives C and E.

Microsoft.DIDiskQuotaUser Object

The DiskQuotaControl object allows a client to manage an NTFS volume's global

disk quota settings. This object makes the essential functionality of the
DIDiskQuotaUser interface available to scripting and Microsoft Visual Basic-
based applications.

Dani Vainstein Shell32 Page 4 of 68

Chapter 11 Scripting Quicktest Professional Page 5

Each user on the volume that is managed by the DiskQuotaControl object has a
DIDiskQuotaUser object associated with it. This object allows a client to manage
an individual user's settings. There are several ways to obtain a user's
DIDiskQuotaUser object:
The DIDiskQuotaUser objects for all users with quotas on the volume are
exposed as a collection and can be enumerated. A discussion of how to
enumerate DIDiskQuotaUser objects is found below.
When you add a new user, the AddUser method returns the user's
DIDiskQuotaUser object.
If you have the user's name, the FindUser method returns the user's
DIDiskQuotaUser object.
The DIDiskQuotaUser objects for all users with a quota on the volume are
exposed as a collection. The DiskQuotaControl object exports a standard
enumerator method that allows you to enumerate the collection of
DIDiskQuotaUser objects.

DIDiskQuotaUser.Invalidate Method

The Invalidate method clears the object's cached user information.

Syntax

object.Invalidate()

Return Value
No return value.

This method clears the user information stored in the object's cache. The
next time a request is made for quota-related information, the object
retrieves the information from the NTFS volume and refreshes the cache.

DiskQuotaControl Object

The NTFS file system allows an administrator to manage disk usage on a shared
volume by allocating a specified amount of disk space, or quota limit, to each user.
The DiskQuotaControl object allows an administrator to manage a volume's disk
quota properties. For instance, you can use this object to set the default quota
limit that will be automatically assigned to all new users.
Manage the folder structure to make files easy for users to locate.
Ensure that the proper versions of specific files are installed and updated when
necessary.

Dani Vainstein Shell32 Page 9 of 68

Chapter 11 Scripting Quicktest Professional Page 10

bytes.

The property is read/write. The property has no default value.

The default quota threshold is applied automatically to new users of the
volume.
If a user's disk usage exceeds this value and the LogQuotaThreshold
property is set to TRUE, the system generates an event log entry. For
example, if the default threshold is 10.0 MB, the value of the property is
"10.0 MB". If the volume has no default threshold, the property is set to "No
Limit" or the localized equivalent.

DiskQuotaControl.DefaultQuotaThresholdText Property

The DefaultQuotaThresholdText property retrieves the default quota

threshold as a text string.
Data Type
String value that contains the default quota threshold for the volume.

The property is read-only. The property has no default value.

DiskQuotaControl.LogQuotaLimit Property

The LogQuotaLimit property sets or retrieves a Boolean value that indicates

whether a system event log entry will be made when a user exceeds his or her
assigned quota limit.
Data Type
This property is set to TRUE if a system event log entry is made when the user
exceeds his or her quota limit, or FALSE otherwise.

The property has no default value.

DiskQuotaControl.LogQuotaThreshold Property

The LogQuotaThreshold property sets or retrieves a Boolean value that

Dani Vainstein Shell32 Page 10 of 68

Chapter 11 Scripting Quicktest Professional Page 11

indicates whether a system event log entry will be made when a user exceeds
his or her assigned quota threshold.
Data Type
This property is set to TRUE if a system event log entry is made when the user
exceeds his or her quota warning threshold, or FALSE otherwise.

The property has no default value.

DiskQuotaControl.QuotaFileIncomplete Property

The QuotaFileIncomplete property retrieves a Boolean value that indicates

whether the quota file for the volume is complete.
Data Type
This property is set to TRUE if the quota file is incomplete, or FALSE otherwise.

The property is read-only. The property has no default value.

DiskQuotaControl.QuotaFileRebuilding Property

The QuotaFileRebuilding property retrieves a Boolean value that indicates

whether the quota file for the volume is currently being rebuilt.
Data Type
This property is set to TRUE if the quota file is being rebuilt, or FALSE
otherwise.

The property is read-only. The property has no default value.

The quota file is automatically rebuilt when quotas are enabled on the
system or when one or more user entries are marked for deletion.

DiskQuotaControl.QuotaState Property

The QuotaState property sets or retrieves the state of the volume's disk
quotas.
Data Type
Integer, The property can be set to one of the QuotaStateConstants defined in
Table 1 on page 61

The property is read/write. The property has no default value

Dani Vainstein Shell32 Page 11 of 68

Chapter 11 Scripting Quicktest Professional Page 12

DiskQuotaControl.UserNameResolution Property

The UserNameResolution property sets or retrieves a value that controls how

user Security IDentifier (SID) is resolved to user names.
Data Type
Integer, The property can be set to one of the UserNameResolutionConstants
defined in Table 2 on page 71

The property is read/write. The property has no default value.

This property affects the enumeration of DIDiskQuotaUser objects, and
the AddUser and FindUser methods.

DiskQuotaControl.AddUser Method

The AddUser method assigns a nondefault disk quota to a new user.

Syntax

object.AddUser (sLogonName)

Arguments
Parameter Description
Required. String value that contains the user's logon name. Use the
sLogonName UserNameResolution property to specify how the name is to be
resolved.

Return Value
No return value.

The NTFS file system automatically creates a user quota entry when a user
first writes to the volume.
Entries that are created in this way are assigned the default warning
threshold and hard quota limit values for the volume.
This method allows you to create a user quota entry before a user writes
information to the volume. It returns a DIDiskQuotaUser object that can
be used to assign a warning threshold or quota limit value that differs from
the default settings for the volume.
If the user already exists, no new entry is created. The method returns the
DIDiskQuotaUser object associated with the existing entry.

DiskQuotaControl.DeleteUser Method

The AddUser method deletes a user from the volume.

Dani Vainstein Shell32 Page 12 of 68

Chapter 11 Scripting Quicktest Professional Page 13

Syntax

object.DeleteUser (oUser)

Arguments
Parameter Description
Required. Object expression that evaluates to the user's
oUser
DIDiskQuotaUser object.

Return Value
No return value.

This method fails if the user owns any storage on the volume. Before you
delete a user from a volume, all storage for that user must be deleted, be
moved to another volume, or have its ownership transferred to another
user.the default settings for the volume.

DiskQuotaControl.FindUser Method

The FindUser method finds a user's entry, by name, in the volume's quota file.
Syntax

object.FindUser (sLogonName)

Arguments
Parameter Description
sLogonName Required. String value that contains the user's logon name.

This method returns a DIDiskQuotaUser object even if there is no entry for

the user in the quota file. The returned user object has warning threshold
and hard quota limits set to the volume's default values.
The string returned from TranslateLogonNameToSID may be passed in
place of the sLogonName parameter.
When FindUser receives a SID string it uses the corresponding SID for
direct lookup of the user's quota record on the volume. This bypasses the
SID-name cache. In cases where FindUser fails due to a mismatch in
format (SAM-compatible vs. UPN) of the logon name provided and the
logon name cached, the logon name can be translated to a SID string using
TranslateLogonNameToSID then passed again to FindUser.
Example
the logon name can be translated to a SID string using
TranslateLogonNameToSID then passed again to FindUser.
Function Find(ByVal oDQC, ByVal sName)
On Error Resume Next

Dani Vainstein Shell32 Page 13 of 68

Chapter 11 Scripting Quicktest Professional Page 14

Set Find = oDQC.FindUser(sName)

If Err.Number <> 0 Then
Err.Clear
Set Find = oDQC.FindUser(dqc.TranslateLogonNameToSID(sName))
End If
End Function
Set oDQC = Nothing

DiskQuotaControl.GiveUserNameResolutionPriority
Method

The GiveUserNameResolutionPriority method places the specified user

object next in line for name resolution.
Syntax

object.GiveUserNameResolutionPriority (oUser)

Arguments
Parameter Description
Required. Object expression that evaluates to the user's
oUser
DIDiskQuotaUser object.

Return Value
No return value.

If asynchronous name resolution is enabled, user objects are placed in a

queue. By default, they are serviced in the order they are placed in the
queue. The GiveUserNameResolutionPriority method moves an object to
the front of the queue so that it is next in line to be serviced.
Use the UserNameResolution property to enable asynchronous name
resolution.

DiskQuotaControl.Initialize Method

The GiveUserNameResolutionPriority method places the specified user

object next in line for name resolution.
Syntax

object.Initialize (sPath, bReadWrite)

Arguments
Parameter Description
Required. String value that contains the fully qualified path of the volume
sPath
to be initialized.
bReadWrite Required. Boolean value that specifies how the volume is to be opened.

Dani Vainstein Shell32 Page 14 of 68

Chapter 11 Scripting Quicktest Professional Page 15

Set bReadWrite to TRUE for read/write access or FALSE for read-only

access.

Return Value
No return value.

DiskQuotaControl.InvalidateSidNameCache Method

The InvalidateSidNameCache method invalidates the security identifier (ID)

user name cache.
Syntax

object.InvalidateSidNameCache

Return Value
No return value.

Users' names and associated security IDs are stored in a cache. You can
clear this cache by calling InvalidateSidNameCache.
If you subsequently create a new user object, the information will have to be
obtained from the domain controller, and the cache will have to be
reestablished.

DiskQuotaControl.ShutdownNameResolution Method

The ShutdownNameResolution method shuts down the user name resolution

thread.
Syntax

object.ShutdownNameResolution

Return Value
No return value.

The security identifier (SID) name resolver translates SID to user names on
a background thread.
This thread is shut down automatically when the associated quota control
object is destroyed. However, there are some cases when the thread is no
longer needed, but the object is not yet ready to be destroyed.
A typical example is when no further processing is taking place, but clients
are still holding references to the object.
The ShutdownNameResolution method allows you to terminate the
resolver thread and free the associated resources without destroying the
quota control object.
When you shut down the resolver thread, asynchronous name resolution

Dani Vainstein Shell32 Page 15 of 68

Chapter 11 Scripting Quicktest Professional Page 16

immediately stops. If calls are subsequently made to methods such as

AddUser or FindUser, the quota object might re-create the resolver
thread.

DiskQuotaControl.TranslateLogonNameToSID Method

The TranslateLogonNameToSID method places the specified user object next

in line for name resolution.
Syntax

object.TranslateLogonNameToSID (logonname)

Arguments
Parameter Description
logonname Required. String value that specifies the user's logon name.

Return Value
No return value.

The returned SID string can be passed to the FindUser method in place of
a logon name.
When a call to the FindUser( logonname) method fails, it could be due to a
mismatch between the form (Security Account Manager [SAM]
compatible vs. User Principal Name [UPN]) of the logon name provided
and the form stored in the SID-name cache. In such cases, the logon name
can be converted to a SID and the call to FindUser repeated. FindUser
recognizes a SID string and will bypass the SID-name cache lookup.
Name-to-SID translation can be a slow process when compared to lookups
in the SID-name cache. Therefore, it is recommended that FindUser first
be called with a logon name.
Example
the logon name can be translated to a SID string using
TranslateLogonNameToSID then passed again to FindUser.

Shell32.FolderItemVerb Object

The FolderItemVerb object represents a single verb available to an item. The

object contains properties and methods that allow you to retrieve information
about the verb.
Each verb corresponds to the command that would be used to launch the
application from a console window. The open verb is a good example, as it is
commonly supported. For .exe files, open simply launches the application.
However, it is more commonly used to launch an application that operates on a
particular file. For instance, .txt files can be opened by Microsoft WordPad.
The open verb for a .txt file would thus correspond to something like the following
command:
"C:\Program Files\Windows NT\Accessories\Wordpad.exe" "%1"
When you use ShellExecute or ShellExecuteEx to open a .txt file, Wordpad.exe is
launched with the specified file as its argument. Some commands can have
additional arguments, such as flags, that can be added as needed to launch the
application properly. For further discussion of shortcut menus and verbs, see

Shell32.ShellLinkObject Object

The Shell object represents the objects in the Shell. Methods are provided to
control the Shell and to execute commands within the Shell. There are also
methods to obtain other Shell-related objects.

Shell32.ShellLinkObject.Target Property

The Terget property contains the link object's target.

Data Type
Object expression that evaluates to the target's FolderItem object.

The property is read-only. The property has no default value.

Shell32.ShellFolderItem Object

This object extends the FolderItem object. In addition to the properties and
methods supported by FolderItem, ShellFolderItem has two additional methods.

Shell32.ShellFolderItem.ExtendedProperty Method

The ExtendedProperty method returns the value of a property from an item's

property set. The property can be specified either by name or by the property
set's format identifier (FMTID) and property identifier (PID).
Syntax

object.ExtendedProperty ( sPropName )

Arguments
Parameter Description
Required. String value that specifies the property. See the Remarks
sPropName
section for details.

Return Value
Variant. Returns the value of the property, if it exists for the specified item. The
value will have full typingfor example, dates will be returned as dates, not
strings.
Remarks
This method returns a zero-length string if the property is valid but does not
exist for the specified item, or an OLE error code otherwise.
There are two ways to specify a property. The first is to assign the property's

Dani Vainstein Shell32 Page 57 of 68

Chapter 11 Scripting Quicktest Professional Page 58

well-known name, such as "Author" or "Date", to sPropName. However, each

property is a member of a Component Object Model (COM) property set
and can also be identified by specifying its format ID (FMTID) and property
ID (PID). An FMTID is a GUID that identifies the property set, and a PID is
an integer that identifies a particular property within the property set.
Specifying a property by its FMTID/PID values is usually more efficient
than using its name. To use a property's FMTID/PID values with
ExtendedProperty, they must be combined into an SCID. An SCID is a
string that contains the FMTID/PID values in the form "FMTIDPID", where
the FMTID is the string form of the property set's globally unique identifier
(GUID).
For a list of FMTIDs and PIDs that are currently supported by the Shell, see
SHCOLUMNID values in Table 12 on page 68.
Example
The following example uses Item to retrieve the extended properties of a
document file using the ExtendedProperty method
