Windows Scripting Host Page

Windows Scripting Host (WSH) is a generic scripting engine for Microsoft Windows that allows advanced scripts to be written to interact with features of the operating system and application objects. The default languages supported are Microsoft's VBScript (Visual Basic Scripting edition - a cut down, typeless version of Visual Basic) and JScript (Microsoft's implementation of JavaScript). In theory other manufacturers could provide other scripting languages for use with WSH such as Perl. WSH is available as standard for Windows 98 and Windows 2000 and optionally for Windows 95 (as a download from the Microsoft web site) and Windows NT4 (on the NT4 Option Pack).

The first two scripts I wrote for W95 to connect and disconnect from network shares. This is much quicker than going through Windows Explorer and has the advantage for Windows 95/98 users of being able to specify different usernames for the connections.

All of the scripts are written in VBScript. If you find something here that might be useful to you, you are free to use it for non-profit gain.
