Adding Windows Script Host switch on Folder Options

[Max_Payne]

How many times Microsoft has fixed many bugs related to Windows Script Host?

This tweak allows easily to switch on /off Windows Script Host without editing any settings or specified WSH associations (.vbs, .vbe, .js, .jse, .wsf, .wsh file types).

Save these lines as switchWSH.reg:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder\EnableScriptHost]
"Type"="checkbox"
"Text"="Enable Windows Script Host"
"HKeyRoot"=dword:80000001
"RegPath"="Software\\Microsoft\\Windows Script Host\\Settings"
"ValueName"="Enabled"
"CheckedValue"=dword:00000001
"UncheckedValue"=dword:00000000
"DefaultValue"=dword:00000001

If you want to apply this tweak, remember to uncheck this option and to apply this setting.



This is the error screen when I try to execute a .vbs script:

Thank you Max.
Once I was used to disable Windows Script Host with XP-antispy (portable)

I posted it because I noted this is a very rare tweak.

Excellent. I even never thought about disabling it. But handy to stop executions :-)

Thanks for this.
