I updated my WindowsXP to full updates. I am a software developer writing
VBScripts which uses:

CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

My scripts used to run until now. Now I get:

ActiveX cannot create Scripting.FileSystemObject

error messages.

How does one disable or enable access to Scripting.FileSystemObject and
probably all other VBScripting APIs/objects in Windows?
 
Error: ActiveX component can't create object: 'Scripting.Dictionary':

Type in Start, Run:

regsvr32 scrrun.dll

If that does not help: reinstall Windows Script 5.6.
