<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:blue;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">That’s exactly how you’d use it. Just change foldername to the folder required, change strFilePath if you’re on a 64 bit system (so it
would be “C:\Program Files (x86)\BBWin\tmp”) and change the 300 to the value in Mb that you want to use. Then just change your externals section of BBWin.cfg to add a line like <load value="C:\Windows\System32\cscript.exe C:\Program Files\BBWin\ext\Folder.vbs"
/> or the x86 program files directory if on 64 bit.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
