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.
