I have this script to enable/disable my wireless nic on my laptop. Is it possible for the scripts icon or shortcut to the script to change icons depending on whether or not the nic is enabled. So if the wireless nic was enabled then the script icon would be my on.ico and if it were disabled the the icon would be my off.ico heres the script
Const ssfCONTROLS = 3
sConnectionName = "wireless network Connection"
sEnableVerb = "En&able"
sDisableVerb = "Disa&ble"
set shellApp = createobject("shell.application")
set oControlPanel = shellApp.Namespace(ssfCONTROLS)
set oNetConnections = nothing
for each folderitem in oControlPanel.items
if folderitem.name = "Network Connections" then
set oNetConnections = folderitem.getfolder: exit for
end if
next
if oNetConnections is nothing then
msgbox "Couldn't find 'Network Connections' folder"
wscript.quit
end if
set oLanConnection = nothing
for each folderitem in oNetConnections.items
if lcase(folderitem.name) = lcase(sConnectionName) then
set oLanConnection = folderitem: exit for
end if
next
if oLanConnection is nothing then
msgbox "Couldn't find '" & sConnectionName & "' item"
wscript.quit
end if
bEnabled = true
set oEnableVerb = nothing
set oDisableVerb = nothing
s = "Verbs: " & vbcrlf
for each verb in oLanConnection.verbs
s = s & vbcrlf & verb.name
if verb.name = sEnableVerb then
set oEnableVerb = verb
bEnabled = false
end if
if verb.name = sDisableVerb then
set oDisableVerb = verb
end if
next
'debugging displays left just in case...
'
'msgbox s ': wscript.quit
'msgbox "Enabled: " & bEnabled ': wscript.quit
'not sure why, but invokeverb always seemed to work
'for enable but not disable.
'
'saving a reference to the appropriate verb object
'and calling the DoIt method always seems to work.
'
if bEnabled then
' oLanConnection.invokeverb sDisableVerb
oDisableVerb.DoIt
else
' oLanConnection.invokeverb sEnableVerb
oEnableVerb.DoIt
end if
'adjust the sleep duration below as needed...
'
'if you let the oLanConnection go out of scope
'and be destroyed too soon, the action of the verb
'may not take...
'
wscript.sleep 1000
