Itkamaraj, I thought you never replied and only today found your post in page 2. I almost missed it. You were right, I only had to leave the .vbs in a different folder, and with the new code, it works flawlessly. I am a complete newbie to VBscript and your instructions to use the script were very clear. Now you have inspired me to delve deeper into it since I feel bad that I am using it without knowing what exactly it is doing.

Chubler,
I am sorry for quoting incorrect information earlier. I was actually installing cygwin on XP Professional x64 when I checked, not sure why I thought it was Windows 7 all along.
I tried to run the setup.exe file from
Cygwin to install cygwin. After a minute, it prompts me to choose a download site, but the list of available download sites is empty. However there is an option to add User URL. When I try to add mirror lists available on the site on a different webpage, it doesnt like any site that I give it. It just hangs there and does nothing.

In the meanwhile, I have obtained an online unix shell account from irc.sdf.org, but I cannot access most of the commands unless I 'activate' the account, and I have figure that part and hopefully I will then have an online account for a couple years, which is great.
