Thank you for your feedback.

Concerning the "read-only attribute", that is not completely true: I
have found some folders with read/write attribute and some others with
read-only. But I cannot understand the reason/meaning for the attribute.

I will try to forward this discussion to
microsoft.public.scripting.vbscript when I can subscribe to this group.
