#11981 — How to check if script was started while SHIFT or CTRL was being pressed ?

Hello all,

Sometimes I've got the need to let a certain script do something a bit 
different, without wanting to have to answer a yes/no message box each time. 
So, I thought of starting the script while a so-called modifier key (SHIFT, 
CTRL) was being pressed.  Those two worked (ALT didn't).  But I do not see 
any possibility to check the *status* [1] of a key in the script (or ask the 
script how it was started).   Does anyone have an idea how to do that ?

[1] I know of the "WScript.StdIn.Read(1)" method, but that one will wait 
until a key is actually pressed - and won't respond to any of the modifier 
keys.

Regards,
Rudy Wieser
