WindowsDevCenter.com: Easy Scripting

WindowsDevCenter.com: Easy Scripting: "Easy Scripting

Writing scripts for Windows isn't like writing batch scripts for MS-DOS; the scripting capabilities of the latest version of Windows (XP/2003) are far more powerful than the batch scripting language but also far more complex. Microsoft has an excellent site on TechNet, the Script Center, that has lots of tutorials, articles, and resources to help you learn how to write Windows scripts. But the actual process of writing scripts hasn't really changed from the way we used to write batch files for DOS--it's still basically all about opening up Notepad and doing a bunch of typing, carefully. Isn't there an easier way to write scripts?"
