Subject: Can I delete Wscript.exe?

One way to guard against script viruses and worms is obviously to delete

Wscript.exe entirely. What I'd like to know is how does this affect the
system (W2k)? Do I loose features that I might need? Also, I'm not
exactly
sure whether IE and Outlook Express use Wscript.exe to run scripts, so
any
info on that would be appreciated. Good links will do!

Thanks!
