Hello Rds,
Thanks for your waiting.

options only works when we copy some files into a Folder (not compressed).
If you are trying to compress some file into a zip file, the Compress
Progress Bar always shows.(even through you defined the option as 4). But
when working with Genearal Folder (not compressed), I'm sure you will found
the option (4) really works fine. It will prevent the Copy progress bar.
But, regarding to Compress Progress Bar, I'm afraid to say, (as far as I
know), we cannot prevent it. Thanks.

Hope this helps, please feel free to update here again, if you have any
more concern. We are glad to assist you.

Have a great day,
Best regards,
Wen Yuan

I'm guessing you mean that it also doesn't work
from Win2000/2003. Maybe you've already thought
of this, but I don't see why you don't use the
FileSystemObject for what you want, especially
given that the Shell object is so undependable and
piecemeal. FSO was designed for basic file operations.
Most people only use Shell because they *want* a
progress bar.

Another problem with Shell is that it's not really
relating to the file system. It's more like an automation
of Explorer. That makes it undependable for dealing
with files. Two problems I know of, for instance, are
that hidden files are not included in a Shell FolderItems
collection. On Win9x, even system file extensions like
..drv and .dll are not included, regardless of the folder
view settings! (I discovered that recently when writing
a COM wrapper for ShellFolderView and Shell Folder.
Those are only the problems that I happened across.
I ended up reverting to API for actual file enumeration
operations.)

most agreed.

but the reason I must use shell is because I am trying to add a file(s) to a
zip file using Windows built-in compress (zipped) folders and I have seen
nothing that would allow me to do this using FSO.

Thanks again.

To get ng attachments, you can use a newsreader such
as: Outlook Express or Thunderbird. Also, I have been
able to pick up attachments when using google advanced
group search (with the Firefox browser).

As best I recall, some (if not most) of the ng archival
sites don't bother to archive the attachments.

Sometimes I get "flamed" for not just including those
scripts in the body of the posting, which would avoid any
difficulties in retrieving attachments. That may very
well be, but on the other hand, very few (if any) people
read or even care about those scripts, so including them
in the body would just result in needless verbosity.

cheers, jw
