How to Execute Programs With VBS
- 1). Right-click the VBS file you want to edit and select "Open With." Select "Notepad" from the list of programs. You can also start a new script by opening Notepad.
- 2). Open a shell object. The shell object runs the executable files located on the machine. The code below creates the object:
Set my_shell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") - 3). Run the program from the VBS file. The shell object opened previously has a "run" method that executes software. The code below runs the software:
my_shell.Run "c:\windows\my_program"
Replace "my_program" with the executable you want to run. - 4). Close the shell objects. You need to close the shell object and remove it from memory. The code below deletes the shell object:
Set my_shell = Nothing - 5). Save the file to your hard drive. Make sure you save it with a .vbs extension. Double-click it to test the programming. The file runs and executes the software indicated in the script.
