Is VBScript for web pages only?

I wrote a question in the Windows forum and, after searching around, thought that VBScript might do what I want but, after searching this morning, I got the impression VBScript only works in the browser. Yes?

If not, perhaps you guys can help with my question in the Windows forum.

You can have stand alone VBScript, it is mainly used by system admins managing windows based desktops/servers. It runs under the Windows Scripting Host engine.

Here's a good place to start for info on VBScript
