Are you sure you mean VB? VBScript is not
the same as VB, and what Jon posted was not
"pure" of either. It was VBScript using WMI.

VB would use the Windows API, like this:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/295004/

Then there's also VB.Net, which Microsoft is now
calling just "VB". VBScript, VB and VB.Net are all
entirely different things that would usually use
entirely different methods.

WMI is a scriptable set of methods that runs as a
service on NT systems and provides a number of
functions (mainly related to network administration
chores) that VBScript would otherwise not have
access to.
