Hi Rod - that script uses a mechanism in Windows called the FileSystemObject which is part of the operating system's script runtime.

It appears that on your system that script runtime component is not working properly - maybe your system registry has become damaged slightly or something messing up that particular piece of the system.

You might try opening up a command prompt, then go to your c:\windows\system directory and run this command:

regsvr32 scrrun.dll

That will put the script runtime's information into the system registry and might repair whatever got messed up there.

It could also be possible that some kind of anti-virus or anti-spyware type system is disabling the script runtime from working as well, if you are running an anti-virus program try disabling it temporarily to see if that was the problem.

There's just a regular text field there - just click on the area under the "Command" column and then you'll have a text caret blinking there, you can then use regular text-editing shortcuts like ctrl+v to paste it. Also if you right click on the field the system text edit menu will pop up and there is a paste on that menu.

Hope this helps!
