Unless you use the AddObject method to add more objects, VBScript knows about only a handful of objects, as listed in Table 13.7. If you set UseSafeSubset to True, then only the Err and Dictionary objects will be available. FileSystemObject and the other objects derived from it (Drive, Drives, File, Files, Folder, Folders, and TextStream) are considered unsafe, since they allow a script program direct access to disk files.
