If I was looking at this code and doing a full review though, it looks like a mix of VB6, and bad VB.NET. I see the My namespace in there, so this was definitely written in VB.NET and not C#.

As for the GUI though, I can't say I'm a fan. The idea is nice, but the visual itself isn't very appealing.

I very well know that helping is exactly why you commented.
Which is why reading your posts on such gives me amusement, of the good variety.
Infer the above simply put to mean I enjoy reading your thoughts on many a subject.

I have good insight, I used it to my advantage in English and Social class back when I was in school, and that skill was the only thing that kept my grades alive quite honestly lol. I hated those courses, loved Math, semi-enjoyed Physics, and found a slight interest in Chemistry. Smile But, I'd throw them all away just to do some programming.

On topic... I help people with programming on a daily basis, so there are things that I can point out easily just because it's routine. (Sometimes I miss things though, and even in my own code, because I've mentioned it so many times that it gets boring to think about, and that's how you neglect things usually.)

Programming is programming though, problem solving is problem solving, and logic is logic, so no matter what issues/problems, or bad code you are faced with, they are easily solved/fixed, if--you know what your building blocks look like. Smile I try to point this out to lots of beginner programmers in specific, because they still have yet to think like a programmer, and therefore they deal with things by coming up with solutions that make things more convoluted than they really need to be, perhaps because they have the notion that programming is *all* difficult.

History and Math were my favorite classes.
Then again privately schooled United Kingdoms style has its merits I suppose.

As for Routine, I'm all too familiar with it.
Back on topic...duly noted.Biggrin

One thing I would change about the program above that I have not mentioned yet, is to find WMI replacement solutions. Because WMI is slower than a turtle on sleeping pills.... And especially if the query itself is not structured to find exactly what you're looking to do, or to find.
