>>The solution isn't to eliminate the WSH, but rather to take the necessary steps to eliminate the problem of spreading the virus. Part the solution is in educating the users. Further, I believe that Outlook can be set up so that double clicking an attachment with certain extensions (vbs, vbe, js, and jse) open them in Notepad rather than running them. I've never tried to do it, but I think it can be done. If I'm wrong about this, I hope someone will let me know.

>Try Tools>Options>Security>Attachment Secuity and set it to HIGH. When double clicking an attachment, you will be prompted to save the attachment to disk by default, or you can open it (that means to run it). Instead you could right click and View the attachment before saving or running it.

That's how I'm setup now. I was hoping that you could use the rules to prevent the launching of of vbs, vbe, js, or jse attached file from Outlook. Or that if the security level wasn't set to High, that double clicking the file (in Outlook) would bring it up in notepad. Of course, if it were saved to the disk double clicking should still launch it (run it).
