    Hi there,

    > http://patriot.net/~carvdawg/docs/dark_side.html

    Excellent article on ADS, one point. You say Windows Scripting Host
    started shipping with W2K. However, it is apparently installed by
    default on Win98SE systems as well (I reinstalled this machine just
    last week).

    After reading your article I fired up a command prompt and typed
    CSCRIPT - this caused the scripting host to appear. Which was odd,
    because I was sure I had told the installer *not* to install Windows
    Scripting Host....

    So I click Start.. Settings.. Control Panel.. Add and Remove
    Programs.. Windows Setup.. Accessories.. and sure enough Windows
    Scripting Host is *NOT* checked. However, CSCRIPT.EXE is in my
    C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND directory while WSCRIPT.EXE is in my C:\WINDOWS
    directory anyhow.

    So I would like to report to you:

    1. WSH is shipped with Win98SE as well.
    2. telling the installer not to install it does not work.
