You might not have a choice. The only things that make WSH a bad choice, IMO, are the security issues and Netscrape incompatibility. Any other solution you find will probably have the same issues. Native browser functionality doesn't offer much in the way of System data, and for good reason- this is considered a major invasion of privacy by many.
