Forums Developers How to prevent registry access???

Yeah you're right... even removal of wscript.exe wouldn't disable the COM object. One thing that worked here is renaming HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\WScript.Shell to something other than "Wscript.Shell". This makes the object not usable (until you rename it back, that is). This solution doesn't seem to interfere with IE's script parsing abilities, but if you decide to do this, just write down to yourself that you did, because some applications (or scripts) might need it. I don't know...
