    Subject: Can I delete Wscript.exe?

    One way to guard against script viruses and worms is obviously to delete

    Wscript.exe entirely. What I'd like to know is how does this affect the
    system (W2k)? Do I loose features that I might need? Also, I'm not
    exactly
    sure whether IE and Outlook Express use Wscript.exe to run scripts, so
    any
    info on that would be appreciated. Good links will do!

    Thanks!
