I want to change ownership of my computer. I downloaded the vbs scipt, but
it doesn't open my registry file. I need to enable windows script hosting.
Does anyone know how? It was easy on 98...but I can't figure it out for XP.
 
Windows Script Host is enabled by default on XP, but could have been turned off or your anti-virus program may be blocking it. Please post back with more information, including the exact error message you receive when running the script.

You can also try a very basic test. Copy the line below to NotePad, then save as test.vbs

MsgBox "Hello World"

Double click that file to run it and you should see a popup with that message. If that works, then scripting is working and you need to look closer at the exact error.

Documents\test.vbs
Line: 1
Char: 1
Error: Expected statement
