I've written a simple program in VB 6.0 to list all my MP3 files.  To show

I'd like to streamline a daily repetitive task, and I was hoping someone could
show me how to do this.  Several times a day I need to open 3 different
folders (always the same 3), and also open a command prompt window in which I
always go to the same directory.  I've already ...

I'll try to keep this as short and to the point as I can...

Does anybody know how to write to a file so that the contents cannot be
