Notes
- The ScriptPW object comes with Windows XP and Windows Server 2003. However, because it’s a standard DLL, it should work fine in Windows 2000 and even Win9x. Simply copy the file
scriptpw.dllfrom an XP or Windows 2003 machine to the desired target machine. Then register the.dll:C:\Windows\System32> regsvr32 scriptpw.dll
