Windows Scripting Host allows you to write scripts that perform system-wide
operations. You can do simple things like copy files around or more
complicated things like open TS4 and have it open one workspace at a time to
get around the "opening too many windows at once" limitation. It is very
powerful. You can use VBScript or JScript or some others. More information
including documentation freely available at www.microsoft.com.

Subject: Re: VERY IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ - New ILOVE YOU Virus Variant
I took your advice and unchecked Windows Scripting Host. I'm curious
though, what does this application actually do? I could find out nothing
about it from the help file.
