Examples

The following example uses Name to retrieve the name of the Autoexec.bat file, then reset the name to Test.bat. Proper usage is shown for JScript, VBScript, and Visual Basic.

JScript:

<script language="JScript">
    function fnNameGetSetJ()
    {
        var objShell = new ActiveXObject("shell.application");
        var objFolder2;
        
        objFolder2 = objShell.NameSpace("C:\\");
        if (objFolder2 != null)
        {
            var objFolderItem;
            
            objFolderItem = objFolder2.ParseName("AUTOEXEC.BAT");
            if (objFolderItem != null)
            {
                var szReturn;
                
                szReturn = objFolderItem.Name;
                objFolderItem.Name = "TEST.BAT";
            }
        }
    }
</script>

VBScript:

<script language="VBScript">
    function fnNameGetSetVB()
        dim objShell
        
        set objShell = CreateObject("shell.application")
        if (not objShell is nothing) then
            dim objFolder2
                
            set objFolder2 = objShell.NameSpace("C:\")
            if (not objFolder2 is nothing) then
                dim objFolderItem
                        
                set objFolderItem = objFolder2.ParseName("AUTOEXEC.BAT")
                if (not objFolderItem is nothing) then
                    dim szReturn
                                
                    szReturn = objFolderItem.Name
                    objFolderItem.Name = "TEST.BAT"
                end if
                set objFolderItem = nothing
            end if
            set objFolder2 = nothing
        end if
        set objShell = nothing
    end function
 </script>

Visual Basic:

Private Sub fnNameGetSetVB()
    Dim objShell   As Shell
    Dim objFolder2 As Folder2
    
    Set objShell = New Shell
    Set objFolder2 = objShell.NameSpace("C:\")
        If (Not objFolder2 Is Nothing) Then
            Dim objFolderItem As FolderItem
            
            Set objFolderItem = objFolder2.ParseName("AUTOEXEC.BAT")
                If (Not objFolderItem Is Nothing) Then
                    Dim szReturn As String
                    
                    szReturn = objFolderItem.Name
                    objFolderItem.Name = "TEST.BAT"
                Else
                    'FolderItem object returned nothing.
                End If
            Set objFolderItem = Nothing
        Else
            'Folder object returned nothing.
        End If
    Set objFolder2 = Nothing
    Set objShell = Nothing
End Sub
