VBS files

[Oz]

A question for Kelly or someone else, on Kellys site she
has a lot of vbs files for editing the registry, when I
try to run them they only open in Notepad, I have changed
the file association and run vb6 but they still only open
in notepad, any clues please.

They should open with wscript (GUI) or cscript (console). Type wscript =
/? on how to choose which. There are many tweaks that disable scripts to =
run by shanghaiing the association to notepad.

Hi

You can run them from a command prompt or from Start/Run with

wscript.exe <path to vbs file>


This might fix your problem:

Locate the file %windir%\inf\wsh.inf (inf is a hidden folder), right click,
select "Install".
