There are three ways to run scripts under windows using WSH. You can:
When you run scripts from WSCRIPT.EXE, you can select the Always Use the Windows Scripting Host to open this file check box and set properties on the WSH Properties page.
When you run a script and the Always Use the Windows Scripting Host to open this file check box is selected, WSCRIPT.EXE is registered as the default application to run files with the extension of the script you are running. For example, if you select the check box when you run CHART.VBS, WSCRIPT.EXE becomes the default application for all files with the .VBS extension. This check box functions identically to the CSCRIPT.EXE //C switch.
The WSH Properties page provides the following options:
