I'm trying to catch all scripts in one window, box or popup instead of apart popups.

I also want a script to check if a specific script is running,

how can I get the name of the script in a check?

@Romi there is a registry setting that controls the ability to run VBScript. However, if you were to disable it, lots of things might very well break. If you script is slowing down, the first thing I would do is check it for malware and virus problems. Visit the Microsoft Security site for a free online scan tool. If you machine is clean, then the next thing to do would be to defrag the hard disk. If you still have problems, look at msconfig (native) or autoruns (sysinternals) tools and see what things are automatically starting. Now days, it seems everytime I turn around another program is launching automatically and eating up system resources. Beyond that, you should seek assistance from your provider or network admin because I am not a desktop support person and there are LOTS of things I do not know about troubleshooting pc's.

I got a feeling that my machine is slowing down significantly because it is running scripts. Is it possible to shut this down, and if so, will that affect anything on my machine?
