Stoyan of PHPIED.com has found the joy using javascript for scripting in the OS…

I’ve put up a few scripts I find useful in windows (download at the end of the article):

• addpath.js – Add a path to the registry path.
• dt.cmd – Change to desktop folder.
• e.cmd – Open explorer in current or specified folder.
• regpath.js  – Output the path stored in the registry.
• updateenvironment.js – Updates running apps with any changed settings in the registry.

And a couple that use python and pywin32:

• ccwd.py – Copy the current working directory to the clipboard
• cpath.py – Copy the current path to the clipboard

All of have acompanying batch files to run them, I generally have everything in a folder c:\usr\cmd, but they should work from anywhere in the path.
