I think it's time they started a Powershell forum :)

Hi, Sorry for asking a powershell question. This should be easy for an expert. Suppose I'm in the folder C:\Windows\System32 . I want to print out only "System32". I have found commands that give the entire path, but I want only the last bit. Thanks, Mel

Thanks for replying. I don't need to do this programmatically. I was given a machine at work and I was just curious to know if it was real or virtual. Obviously I don't have physical access to the machine (to see for myself) as it's in another part of the world. So there are some devices that would not be installed on a virtual machine? Something like keyboard and mouse? Thanks, Melwyn

When I connect to a machine (through RDC, VNC, PCAnywhere or any other such remoting application) is there any system setting I can check to know if the machine I'm connected to is a virtual machine or an actual physical one? Thanks, Melwyn

you must be in Limerick :) I live in Galway. Folks aren't too bad out here.

It's the Pitt Street Mall, the pedestrianised section of Pitt Street in the CBD of Sydney, Australia. It is one block long between Market Street and King Street and is one of Australia's busiest and most cosmopolitan shopping precincts....according to it's wikipedia page :)

Down under....Maunder probably recognises the mall :) more info[^]

Free Hugs[^] has the perfect song also for the clip.

Why don't you post a pic of yourself and we'll decide that ;) Cheers.

Including atlbase.h took care of CComQIPtr. However I don't have shobjidl.h anywhere on my machine. Is that something that would come only with VC 7, looks that way atleast. (On a different note, I don't have "comdefsp.h" either...i think these are VC 7 files). I tried including shlobj.h but didn't help.

Thanks for your reply. Found IShellFolder in that file, but now it can't find CComQIPtr and IFolderFilter. (By the way, nowhere in the project is atlbase.h explicitly included, probably comes indirectly through some other header file. So, I included comdef.h in Stdafx.h) Yes I have Feb 2003 PSDK installed. Does that have some issue? Thanks, Mel
