There are 14 Windows Scripting Host (WSH) objects available in WSH 5.6. As you can see, the objects cover a lot of ground.
Wscript is the parent object for all other WSH objects. At its core, you can use this object's properties to check the versioning, change the scripting environment (for example, to use the command-line environment instead of the graphical default that's less useful for automated work) and get the name of the script file. You can also use its properties for other administrative actions. You can also use this base object to halt or pause a script.
