Need help to modify vb script used in XP for Windows 7

Question

Can somebody help me in modifying scripts that were used for Windows XP, to run on Windows 7.
My friend advised me to change it to .ps1, but still some flaws..
Cscript \\nologo ????  is used for what purpose ?

Answer 1

Almost all VBScripts written to work in Windows XP will also work for Windows 7, so there's not much to modify (unless you have specific examples of scripts not working).
Having said that, PowerShell is the future! It takes a bit more than to just change the file extension to .ps1 though (this may be why your scripts aren't working!).
