function ShowFileType(filespec)
{
var fso, f, s;
fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
if (fso.FolderExists(filespec))
f = fso.GetFolder(filespec);
else if (fso.FileExists(filespec))
f = fso.GetFile(filespec);
else
s = "File or Folder does not exist.";
s = f.Name + " is a " + f.Type;
return(s);
}
