Hi Suresh,

Usually the below code works fine to get the items

Code:
strItems=Window("title:=Program Manager").WinListView("object class:=SysListView32").GetROProperty("all items")

but for me "all items" property is blank. Can you plz post the snapshot of object spy by spying any of the icon on the desktop?

Regards,
Ankesh

I am not sure of your requirement. You can use VBScript to get this done.

Code:
Set fso = createobject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

DesktopPath = CreateObject("WScript.Shell").SpecialFolders("Desktop")

'Files count

msgbox fso.GetFolder(DesktopPath).Files.Count

'Folders count

msgbox fso.GetFolder(DesktopPath).SubFolders.Count

'Check if specified file is present

msgbox fso.FileExists(DesktopPath & "\" & "qtp.txt")

'Check if specified folder is present

msgbox fso.FolderExists(DesktopPath & "\" & "DSC_019612")
