        {
            var objFolderItem;

            if (objFolderItem != null)
            {
                var objItemVerbs;
                
                objItemVerbs = objFolderItem.Verbs();
                if (objItemVerbs != null)
                {
                    // Add code here
                }
            }

            ssfWINDOWS = 36
            set objFolder2 = objShell.NameSpace(ssfWINDOWS)
            if (not objFolder2 is nothing) then
                dim objFolderItem
                        
                set objFolderItem = objFolder2.Self
                if (not objFolderItem is nothing) then
                    dim objItemVerbs
                    
                    set objItemVerbs = objFolderItem.Verbs
