VBS script from text file

Any chance you have changed the association of the .vbs extension

I think I used to open with Windows Script Host, but that is not an option under my "Open With"

I looked at my Windows Script Host and there is no Enable/Disable.

Windows 10 Home 1909

I enabled the Windows Script Host but still can't figure out how to open the txt file with script

here is my VBS file properties

it opens with

I can't find that app - that is where I am stuck. I try the Change...
and search for Microsoft Windeows Based Script Host ===  nothing.
Could I NOT have it??

have a look at these
here they have registry fixes for vbs files...

https://www.winhelponline.com/blog/vbscript-files-open-with-notepad/

or you can use this command to run vbs files

wscript.exe "drive:\path\filename.vbs"

Select allOpen in new window

in command window, when you run this

wscript.exe

what do you get?

or

wscript.exe /?

I did an ENABLE fix - but it didn't change anything.
Any suggestions?

Also I can run

so, you have everything but your registry entries gone, should be fixed...

I did an ENABLE fix - but it didn't change anything.

what did you do exactly for this?
there should be a reg file and you should run to fix registry entries...

or before running reg file try this

run this

where wscript

 
it will give you path...
then on a vbs file, shift + right click
you should see "open with"
then select this exe and mark "always run with this"

When it wasn't working, there was a suggestion to add ENABLE, so I followed the steps and did that.
But I still couldn't see the Microsoft Windows Based Script Host.

If I could see it when I try to save my .txt file, I could just choose this option (as I see in your screenshot).
But I can't see the Microsoft Windows Based Script Host as an option OR find it by searching.

I can find the wscript.exe - but I don't think I should choose that - correct?

if you can find "open with" on a vbs file, then find the exe and select it
and mark it as "always open..."
after that, vbs files will open with that tool, which executes it instead of sending it to notepad...

Ok, when I do that, I get the error

but you are trying to associate txt file not a vbs!

open a windows explorer
enable extensions first

the file, you show on screen is actually a text file
and the name is

Refresh.vbs.txt

OMG YES!!!!!! THANK YOU!!! I forgot all about that view! THANK YOU!
