Description
The Windows Script Host is Microsoft's response to the need for a way of programming Windows in a manner analogous to the way batch files can be used to automate jobs in MS-DOS. Rather as Office 2000 provides VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) as a development tool, Windows 98 and Windows 2000 contain the Windows Script Host. WSH enables you to use scripting languages to access the Windows shell directly. As well as providing facilities of its own for tasks including shortcut management and registry manipulation, WSH enables the use of any Automation-compatible COM object. In other words, a script can be created with a simple text editor like Notepad, and used to control any process for which an object model exists.
