Hi, using Delphi 5. Havent been programming in it very long.

Im just having trouble doing 2 things and i wonder if anyone out there can give me a hand.

#1 I want to rename folders. Basically a bit of code that reads a checkbox, and if a certain item is checked, then it renames a folder to something else (eg c:\temp\ to c:\perm\). Ive been trying to do it with DiskControls but i havent been having any luck. Any pointers would be appreciated.

#2 How do you call an exe from your code? ie if someone clicks a button, how do you call (say telnet.exe) from your onclick procedure?

thx

Hope that helps

Thanks Hostyle

Those links worked a treat.

Been googling in vain - must have missed them.

Cheers
