I used to be able to run a defrag from a vscript file.
Now when I click on the icon I get this error message from "Windows Script
host".

Line: 3
Char: 1
Error: Could not create object named "Wscript.Shell".
Code: 8004011
Source: WScript.CreateObject

I have recently downloaded many Hotfixes and Windows update V4 .

Try this,

[Start]

regsvr32 /u vbscript.dll
[Enter]

[Start]

regsvr32 vbscript.dll
[Enter]

Hi

It's generally better to just reinstall WSH 5.6 in these type of cases. Rod did
that, and it solved his problem:
