Hi All

Anyone has some idea about Windows Scripting...

What it is, how we do it, and all that stuff...

If you know Visual Basic language or VBScript then you'll be able to script Windows

You will need example to learn, there are some example that comes with Windows itself, just search for files with *.vbs or something like that

More than VBScripting

Hi

I have been programming in VB for the past 2-3 years and so can boast of some basic vb programming skills, never tried vbs though. there is not much difference between the two either.

But i believe, windows Scripting is more than VB Scripting. I dont know how correct i am?

I have made one Window Script file:
This script lets you ren one of either 4 programs
Note: if AntiVirus sw are installed they might not allow the script to run
