Hey all,

I've had Windows 8 running fine on my work PC for several months, but today when I booted it up, it would not run my *.vbs logon scripts.

There is no script engine for file extension ".vbs".

I first tried the obvious, and have since done a fair amount of Google searches. Here is a list of all of the actions that I have carried out.

• Restarted my computer (you never know).
• Check that C:\Windows\System32\wscript.exe exists, which it did.
• Set the program default by right clicking, selecting 'Open with -> Choose default program...' and choosing Microsoft Windows Based Script Host.
• Set the association through 'Control Panel -> Programs -> Default Programs -> Set Associations'. As expected, this was already correct due to the action above.
• Register vbscript.dll by clicking 'Start -> Run -> type "regsvr32.exe vbscript.dll"'.

After all of these actions, I am still receiving the same error message. Can someone please help with a suggestion as to what I should do next?

Thanks.

Hi,

Please restore the vbs association to default. Here is the registry for Windows 7. It is the same as Windows 8. Please search for .vbs.

Beautiful, that worked perfectly.

Thanks for the help.
