∟Scripting Runtime DLL Library Overview

Microsoft provides a number of runtime objects through a single DLL library: c:\windows\system32\scrrun.dll:

• CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary") - Returning an empty Dictionary object for you script code to store pairs of keys and values. A Dictionary object is similar to asscociate array in Perl, or a hash table in Java.
• CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") - Returning a FileSystemObject object representing the file systems on the local machine.
• CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject").Drives - Returning a collection of Drive objects representing logical drives defined on the local machine.
• CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject").GetFolder(path_name) - Returning a Folder object representing the file folder of the specified path name.
• CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject").GetFile(path_name) - Returning a File object representing the file of the specified path name.
• CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject").OpenTextFile(...) - Returning a TextStream object representing an input and output text stream channel linked to the specified file.

scrrun.dll is available for client-side scripting with IE, server-side scripting with IIS, and shell scripting with WSH. But using FileSystemObject and related objects on the client side with IE is restricted for security reasons.
