What is active scripting and how do I set it for Vista?

Active Scripting is the technology used in Windows to implement component-based scripting support. It is based on COM and allows installation of additional scripting engines in the form of COM modules.
The Active Scripting technologies were first released in 1996, with the release of the Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0 and Internet Information Services 3.0 products
Usual applications of Active Scripting include ASP server scripts, Internet Explorer, and Windows Script Host (WSH) scripts automating routine tasks, including use for login scripts, Registry manipulation, and the like.
Other administrative uses include Windows Management Instrumentation and ADSI.
Active Scripting can also be used for general-purpose scripting, such as database programming, text-processing, rapid prototyping, and application macro/scripting programming; some applications use Active Scripting as the main automation method, others do not have a macro facility but the components are available for use via the API; or one may opt to add a language and/or tool not available by default, like programming Microsoft Excel in Perl or Rexx rather than VBA or transferring data from a terminal emulator to word processor by way of a spreadsheet when they have dissimilar macro tools or none at all.

Well Please be specific that what you mean by set…
Is it that you want to disable it…..
