When discussing how HomeFolderPerms.asp works, I assumed a familiarity with scripting fundamentals and with the Active Server Pages (ASP), FileSystemObject object, and Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) technologies. If you're not familiar with scripting or any of the
mentioned technologies, you might want to review these resources.
Scripting fundamentals. To learn about the various scripting technologies and object models available, see Dino Esposito, "An Introduction to Scripting Technologies and Object Models," Windows Scripting Solutions, May 2000, InstantDoc ID 8599.
In Windows 2000 Magazine, Bob Wells wrote a series describing scripting fundamentals in the context of the Windows Script Host (WSH) API. The same fundamentals apply to the ASP API, which I use as the foundation for HomeFolderPerms.asp. The only difference is that ASP is a Web-based interface, whereas WSH is a command-line interface.
