[OT] - (Sorry) - vbscript question

["Paul Gordon" <paul_gordon@xxxxxxx>]

chaps, sorry for the OT, but this is annoying me now...

anyone give me a quick & dirty method to determine via vbscript under
WSH 
whether a path points to a file or a directory?

is there a way to determine the type just from a path spec without having
to 
"Set" an instance of the object in question? - because as far as
I can see, 
properties like the <object>.attributes can only be used against an
instantiated object (ie one that has been "Set" to a filesystem
object), - 
however, to instantiate it as a filesystem object I have to already know
whether its a file or a folder! (using the getfile or the getfolder
method)

There must be a simple way to do this, but I'm blowed if I can see it at
the 
moment!

TIA

Paul G. (sitting in the office typing code with gloves on 'cos it's so 
cold!)
