What is VBScripts?

VBScript (Visual Basic Scripting Edition) is a scripting language developed by Microsoft that is based on Visual Basic. It's commonly used for automating tasks in Windows environments, particularly for system administration, creating interactive web pages (though this use is now outdated), and scripting within other Microsoft applications like Microsoft Office. VBScript is an interpreted language, meaning that the code is executed line by line without the need for compilation. Because of security concerns, its use in web browsers is largely deprecated.
