How to run a VBS scriptfile

[Alex Keel]

I need to run a 'VBS' file, but when I double click on it opens in Notepad. I
suppose it has to do with the file association, but I'm lost on this.

 

[Mark L. Ferguson]

One thing to try is a command line attempt

wscript *.VBS

or

cscript *.VBS

If these work, the file association for vbs is changed to notepad (run
'control folders' and see the filetypes tab)

If those fail, you may have a Policy or registry setting that is preventing
scripts from running.

Use the .vbs association fix here:
