WSH
Windows Scripting Host (WSH) is an administrative API accessible from scripting languages like VB6, JScript and PowerShell.
The WSH base objects have ProgIDs WScript.Shell
and WScript.Network
.
The WSH Runtime Library is housed in WSHOM.OCX.
The VB6 IDE had a browser for conveniently navigating WSH objects. It’s also accessible from PowerShell, but less discoverable. PowerShell/.NET supersede or wrap most of its functionality.
