>WSH is part of Windows 2000. With prior OS's, the WSH needs to be installed. I have tested WSH with Windows 2000 and NT, and it works fine. I don't see why WSH would not work with Win98 or Win95.

Actually, WSH 1.0 was pretty much a part of base Win98, since you had to really work at it to not get it installed along with the rest of IE 4...and it's completely unavoidable with SE. Aside from Win 3.x with the completely unsupported Win32s extension (which could only run VFP3 apps IAC), unupdated retail Win95 installs (which have other, infinitely larger problems, like a complete lack of Y2K compliance and a ton of bugs) and WinNT 4.0 that is forced to stay below the level of NT SP3, WSH should be installable using the self-extracting, freely redistributable WSH executable from the MS Scripting site.
