When a .vbs script is run from the command line, it will by default show a Microsoft header: <pre class="prettyprint"><code>Microsoft (R) Windows Script Host Version 5.7 Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. </code></pre> How can this be disabled?

I assume you mean with <code>cscript</code> since <code>wscript</code> doesn't show anything. You can use the <code>nologo</code> switch of <code>cscript</code> to stop the annoying copyright message from being displayed. For example: <pre class="prettyprint"><code>cscript /nologo xx.vbs </code></pre>

Answering my own question... You can do this with the <code>/nologo</code> option, e.g. <pre class="prettyprint"><code>cscript /nologo myscript.vbs </code></pre>

How can I run a WSH script without seeing the Microsoft header?
