vbscript

After installing the new server, I am facing an issue.

I have lot of .vbs files, all need to run in wscript, reason, I use all those command like WScript.Echo "hello"

I want to be able to see the output when I double click the VBScript file.

But when I right click on the vbs file, I see console, I want to change the default to Windows host, globally!

How can I do that?
