' Copyright � 2013 Dwight Grant.  All rights reserved.
' Filename:  Win8_WP_Curr_Image_Name-Folder.txt
' Version:  2.00.01
'
' Purpose:  If (in Windows 8) running Desktop Wallpaper Slideshow:
'              To Display the Name of the Current Image (opt=1)
'                                      or
'              Display the Folder with the Current Image Selected (opt=2).
'
' This script reads and decodes registry key:
'      HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\TranscodedImageCache
'          and displays results on desktop
'
' How to Use  -  Creation:
' 1. Save Text file at a location of your choosing.
' 2. Open Text file with "Notepad" and "Save As" same name with ".vbs" file type.
'       You will now have both  "Win8_WP_Curr_Image_Name-Folder.txt" and
'                               "Win8_WP_Curr_Image_Name-Folder.vbs".
' 3. Create desktop shortcut to "Win8_WP_Curr_Image_Name-Folder.vbs".
'
' Operation:  Double Click on the Desktop Icon Created,
'               Executes "Microsoft Windows Based Script Host" and
'                 will display full path name of Wallpaper file.
'
'***  Author: Dwight Grant  **** Revised: Nov. 27, 2013 ***
' based upon idea from Ramesh Srinivasan in program "WPTargetDir.vbs" for Win 7
' & revisions suggested by FleetCommand.
'
' ***  Please note:  It is not unicode compliant - Path name needs to be ASCII to display properly.
'        If anyone has sugestions as to how to make it compliant, please explain, and I will try to 
'             incorporate it into the next version.
