Script?

[Dan]

Hello,
I'm looking for some advice on the best way to make
a "pretty" interface for users for a logoff script. What
I'd like to do is present users with a simple Yes/No box
when they logoff. It'll be a simple question of whether
or not they'd like to sync a few "critical" directories up
with their personal space on the server. Technically it
won't be an issue using robocopy. What is more difficult
is how to make it look nice... I'd rather not have a DOS
prompt but that's the only way I know to make it work at
this point.
Any suggestions? Starting points?
Thanks,
Dan

Dan,

Have you though of using a hta application. Here is a
link to a msdn article on this.

How about vbscript? Try the following - Saved as a .vbs file (watch for line
wrapping).

Dim lngRetval
lngRetVal = msgbox("Would you like to synchronize your files now?",vbYesNo,
"File Synch")
if lengRetval = vbYes then
Dim objShell
Set objShell = WScript.CreateObject ("WSCript.shell")
'***** This is where you tell the script to run your batch file *******
objShell.run "YourBatchFilename.bat"
Set objShell = Nothing
end if

Whoops!!
That's what you get for coding off the top of your head without testing
it....
