List Items in the My Computer Folder using VBScript (WSH)


The following VBScript runs at WSH (Window Scripting Host). It is used to list the items in “My Computer” folder. The Object “Shell.Application” is required for this to work.

Const MY_COMPUTER = &H11&

Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
Set objFolder = objShell.Namespace(MY_COMPUTER)
Set objFolderItem = objFolder.Self
WScript.Echo objFolderItem.Path

Set colItems = objFolder.Items
For Each objItem in colItems
    WScript.Echo objItem.Name
Next

The output is something like:

Microsoft (R) Windows Script Host Version 5.8
