NOTE: There is an article, "Automating TCP/IP Networking on Clients" on Microsoft's web site,
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter/topics/networking/01_atnc_intro.mspx
It contains information that makes me believe that vbs files (visual basic script) use the wsh host file to run. I could be wrong but...

The following information is from  http://www.ss64.com/wsh/

=========================================================================

Run a Windows Scripting Host (WSH) script.

WSH provides a windows scripting environment with commands that are identical across Win 95 - NT - XP.

WSH is available under Windows 95, and NT4 if Internet Explorer 4 (or above) has been installed. WSH is installed by default on Windows 98, Windows Millenium, Windows 2000 and XP.

You can also download WSH. A silent install of WSH is possible using the command <installer.exe> /q:a /r:n however it *must* be installed with Administrator rights (and the reboot must also be done under an admin account). The download of WSH version 5.6 (as shipped with XP) fixes a few bugs and adds significantly to the features available in earlier releases.

'cscript' runs entirely in the command line and is ideal for non-interactive scripts.
'wscript' uses GUI widgets and so is prettier for things like user input.

Syntax 
       cscript [script_name.vbs] [//host options...] [/script options]

       wscript [script_name.vbs] [//host options...] [/script options]

Arguments:

   script_name.vbs  : The pathname of a text file containing
                      the VBS commands to be executed.
                      You must include the extension (normally .vbs)
   hide startup logo
      //nologo

   Timeout script after nn seconds
      //T:nn

   Interactive mode
      //I
   or Batch mode
      //B
========================================================================

The following files will install Microsoft® Windows® Script containing Visual Basic® Script Edition (VBScript.) Version 5.6, JScript® Version 5.6, Windows Script Components, Windows Script Host 5.6, and Windows Script Runtime Version 5.6.
