ASP cannot use GetFolder command
Dear all the web developer experts

I have one question, why can't I run GetFolder command of the FileSystemObject object of ASP? Is there something to do with Security?

Any other commands are ok but GetFolder. I'm using Windows XP Pro SP2.

Please help, this is very important to my study.

Thanks

NO, not at all, the page is blank, it seems like it's trying to get the page to display but nothing happen, the brower keeps running but no result.

Could it be because i use two browser? Coz sometimes there's another error come up when i try to run any ASP file, Error: Too many user..... Then i'll have to restart my PC in order to run a normal script( what i mean by normal here, is that the asp script doesn't contain GetFolder command).

Please help me, anyone?

<%
Dim FSO
Dim objFolder
Dim collFolders

set FSO = server.createobject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
set objFolder = FSO.GetFolder("C:\Test\")
set collFolders = objFolder.SubFolders

response.write collFolders.count
%>

And when i tried to run that script, the browser just keep running but there's nothing displayed on the page. I was vaguely told that there's something to do with permission but i don't know how to fix it.

Please help me
