Windows Script Component
Windows® Script Component files are XML (Extensible Markup Language) that are much like HTML files, but contain special elements that define the script component and its behavior. The elements used for defining script components are not HTML tags, but are XML elements specifically used for script component definitions.
To register a component:
regsvr32 dpath\filename.wsc
To use the component
dim oTest
set oTest = CreateObject("filename.wsc"
.. oTest.<function>
