Regarding MacOS I can not say much, but I use Windows, and IT WORKS. 'hh ' = Hermann's contribution, right? This fantastic. I never expected anybody to have a solution. I had searched Git and whatever. Well, first it did not actually work because spaces in the folder- and filenames are breaking the script. There will be an error message. So, I have added these script lines to what 'hh' had posted: -- Button script on mouseUp set the hideConsoleWindows to true -- Hide console window put the effective filename of this stack into p set the itemdelimiter to slash put "wscript1.js" into last item of p -- Or construct any other valid file path --replace slash with backslash in p -- Not needed, works without backslash conversion put quote & p & quote into p -- Required if file- or folder names contain spaces, and mostly they do put shell ("wscript "&p) into msg -- or any field, ... end mouseUp Tested: Operating system: Windows 10, the latest version OS scripting language: Wscript (Microsoft Windows Script Host File) Filename of script file: "wscript.js" Location: Here the call file is placed inside the stack folder (could be any other location) Script of the file as given by Hermann: var shellWindows = new ActiveXObject("Shell.Application").Windows(); for (var i = 0; i < shellWindows.Count; i++) { var w = shellWindows.Item(i); WScript.StdOut.WriteLine(w.LocationName); var sel = w.Document.SelectedItems(); for (var j = 0; j < sel.Count; j++) { var item = sel.Item(j); WScript.StdOut.WriteLine(item.Name); WScript.StdOut.WriteLine(item.Path); } } Biggest THANK YOU. You solved the client request in a very elegant way and I create this script file "on the fly" from within LiveCode and execute it on the client's Windows system.
