##  Function:   determinLogFile
##  Purpose:    This function will determin the location and the name of the log file.
##  Arguments:  fileName - The name of the log file.
##              userSpecific - Set to 1 if log file stored in the user's netchk dir, 0 if stored globally
##              echo - set to 1 to also echo the logEntry string to stdout
##  Returns:    Log file object.  Its path and name.

        #   Since user specific, pull user's log directory from the registry
        #   ...
        hkey = OpenKey( HKEY_CURRENT_USER, 'Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Explorer\\Shell Folders' )

        logDir = WinDir + '\\NetChk'
    logFileName = logDir + '\\' + fileName
    return logFileName

##  Function:   addToLogFile
##  Purpose:    This function will add one entry to the log file stating that the reminder was run and log the date.
##              This way checkLastRun will look to this file to determin if a remind routine should be run.
