I just noticed i=+1 at the end of script
Yet the msgbox only shows n times, less than the number of items. I note Explore is hidden. I changed to a safer folder than windir (which gives me 1 more item than system32). Now I'll try a doit on verb 1 (the second which I presume is explore) and it crashes.
set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
set objFolder2 = objShell.Namespace("C:\Documents and Settings\David Candy\Desktop\New Folder")
set objFolderItem = objFolder2.Self
set objItemVerbs = objFolderItem.Verbs
msgbox objItemVerbs.count
For i = 0 to objItemVerbs.count -1
A=objItemVerbs.item(i)
msgbox A
msgbox i
objItemVerbs.item(i),doit
i = i + 1
Next
So 4 is blank (here at least)
