wscript chewing up CPU

After logging on, the CPU is consumed executing the
wscript program. This lasts anywhere from 2 to 3
minutes! I've disabled the process by stopping it after
several seconds but don't know if this is a bad thing.
What is this script used for? Any ideas?

Thanks.
 
WScript.exe is the program that allows scripts to run, not the script
itself. You need to determine what's loading at startup that would be
running a script.

See www.dougknox.com, Win XP Utilities, Startup Programs Tracker. This
small utility scans your system for startup programs and running processes.
It also allows you to create a log file that can be copied and pasted into a
newsgroup post. The contents of the program window are also copied to the
Windows Clipboard, automatically.
