Cscript and Wscript

 Cscript and Wscript are the two script hosts within the Windows Script Host (WSH) environment. Unless you specify otherwise, Wscript is the default. 

 

Setting the Default Script Host 

cscript //H:cscript

wscript //H:wscript

Cscript vs. Wscript

The difference between Cscript and Wscript is that Cscript is the command-line version of the script host and Wscript is the graphical version. This difference isn’t really noticeable unless your script uses the Wscript.Echo command. As you’ve already seen, if you use Cscript your output from a Wscript.Echo statement will, by default, display to the command window; if you use Wscript that output will display in message boxes. There are other slight differences between the two, but Wscript.Echo is the most obvious and the one you’re likely to run into most often.

Using the command-based script host (CScript.exe)

Cscript.exe is a command-line version of the Windows Script Host that provides command-line options for setting script properties.

With Cscript.exe, you can run scripts by typing the name of a script file at the command prompt. Like Microsoft Internet Explorer, Windows Script Host serves as a controller of Windows Script compliant scripting engines, but Windows Script Host has very low memory requirements. Windows Script Host is ideal for both interactive and non-interactive scripting needs, such as logon scripting and administrative scripting.

Windows Script Host supports scripts written in VBScript or JScript. When you start a script from your desktop or from the command prompt, the script host reads and passes the specified script file contents to the registered script engine. The script engine uses file extensions (that is, .vbs for VBScript and .js for JScript) to identify the script. As a result, you do not need to know the exact programmatic identifier (that is, the ProgID) of the script engine. The script host maintains a mapping of script extensions to programmatic identifiers, and uses the Windows XP association model to start the appropriate engine for a given script.
