VB SCRIPT

that is modelled on Visual Basic. It is designed as a “lightweight” language with a fast interpreter
for use in a wide variety of Microsoft environments. VBScript uses the Component Object
Model to access elements of the environment within which it is running; for example, the
FileSystemObject (FSO) is used to create, read, update and delete files.

VBScript has been installed by default in every desktop release of Microsoft Windows since
Windows 98;
