However, since I see there are at least two approaches do accomplish this, I'd like to ask if both methods are available into the win 9x environment (without having to install any adds, my development machine has lots of things installe). In other words I would appreciate any advise about pros and cons on both methods, API calls and the scripting object.

The Win32 API calls do not require any add-on components, but do require writing and debugging significant code; the WSH components are simple COM objects and do not rquire any knowledge of how the underlying APIs work.
