>>>Ed Rauh wrote FAQ#7885 on this very subject. Additionally, his sig line contains some of the links mentioned in there. The WSH allows (using VBScript or JScript) you to access many things that previously were only accessible using Win32API calls or wrapper DLLs. For example, a file's creation date and time, manipulate short cut links. While not part of the WSH directly, the Shell.Application can allow you to copy, move or delete files with standard windows dialogs (and with programmatic control).
