Windows Script Host

Microsoft Windows Script Host (WSH) is a language-independent scripting host for Windows Script compatible scripting engines. It brings simple, powerful, and flexible scripting to the Windows 32-bit platform, allowing you to run scripts from both the Windows desktop and the command prompt.

Using Windows Scripting Host, VBScript performed tasks that the Windows shell (batch scripts) simply could not handle. Windows Script Host is ideal for non-interactive scripting needs, such as logon scripting, administrative scripting, and machine automation.

In VBScript, we can create Windows Script Host (WSH) Objects and automate manual tasks.

These are the 14 WSH Objects:

Scripting.Signer Object  
Enables an author to sign a script with a digital signature and a recipient to verify the signature's authenticity and trustworthiness.
