Default Windows Script Host access is disabled on this machine

Windows Script Host access is disabled on this machine. Contact your
administrator for details.

I'd like it back, but don't know the MS app that turned of though I'm
thinkin g it might have been Shared_Computer_Toolkit_ENU.msi when I was
testing it out for a client.

I have looked at the page
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scr..._sbp_lhak.mspx but this is not what I
want.

Default Re: Windows Script Host access is disabled on this machine

Click Start, Run and enter REGEDIT Go to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Script Host\Settings

Look in the right pane for the value called Enabled. If its set to zero, double click it and set it to one. Or, alternatively, just delete the Enabled value, as it doesn't exist, by default.
