* Named and unnamed command line arguments
* [[Stdin]] and [[stdout]], which could be redirected
* WSH.Echo which writes to the console and cannot be redirected
* WSH.ExitCode which can be tested from DOS batch files, or by the process which invoked the script file
* Network printers
* Network shares
* Special folders, e.g. Desktop, Favorites, MyDocuments and so on
* Network user information, such as group membership
* Methods for runtime execution of text defined at runtime: Eval and Execute
* Methods for executing scripts on remote machines
* [[Windows Management Instrumentation]] (WMI)
* Functionality for embedding a VBScript engine in other applications, using a widely known language
