I see a lot of people asking about script editors for vbScript and Powershell.

If you want free then I would suggest the following:

 Notepad Plus is a good replacement for Notepad.

http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/uk/site.htm

Here are the features of Notepad++ :

Syntax Highlighting and Syntax Folding

    C C++ Java C# XML HTML
    PHP CSS makefile ASCII art (.nfo) doxygen ini file
    batch file Javascript ASP VB/VBS SQL Objective-C
    RC resource file Pascal Perl Python Lua TeX
    TCL Assembler Ruby Lisp Scheme Properties
    Diff Smalltalk Postscript VHDL Ada Caml
    AutoIt KiXtart Matlab Verilog Haskell InnoSetup
    CMake YAML

WYSIWYG 
User Defined Syntax Highlighting 
Auto-completion 
Multi-Document

Or you could go with Sapiens PrimalPad:

If you are only working in Powershell then:

 the Power Gui from PowerGui.org is a good choice and it’s free:

 For a few dollars more;

Try EditPlus

One just for vbScript is vbsEdit;

Of course if you want the very best and are willing to pay for it then you must buy Primal Script.

I ran across this article (Open Command Window Here « Burgaud.com) about adding the Open Command Line Here to the Right Click menu in Explorer.

It’s a good article and it shows you how to do the job with some registry hacks.

I have included my versions here:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\runas]
@="Open Command Window Here"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\runas\command]
@="cmd.exe /k pushd %L"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\CommandPrompt]
@="Open Command Window Here"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\CommandPrompt\command]
@="cmd.exe /k pushd %L"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\CommandPrompt]
@="Open Command Window Here"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\CommandPrompt\command]
@="cmd.exe /k pushd %L"

Just copy the above and save it to a regfile. I call mine open_cmd_here.reg

Then open up explorer and double click the file. It will ask you if you want to add this to your registry,

say yes and then close Explorer. Next time you open Explorer and right click on a Directory, you will have two options.

1. open a command prompt as an admin

2. as a regular user.

And here is one to add Powershell:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\powershell]
@="PowerShell Here"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\powershell\command]
@="C:\\Windows\\system32\\WindowsPowerShell\\v1.0\\powershell.exe -NoExit -Command Set-Location -LiteralPath '%L'"

Were you wondering if anyone has a script that can change the Wins IP address on a server?

Get-WmiObject -ComputerName "." `

Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration | ?{$_.IPEnabled -eq $True} | `

% {$_.SetWINSServer("172.16.1.240", "172.16.1.241")}

I'm guessing you'll want to do this on multiple servers. One way you

can do it is read a list of servers from a file into a variable and

then run the command on each server:

 $servers = get-content c:\servers.txt

foreach ($server in $servers) {

Get-WmiObject -ComputerName $server `

Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration | ?{$_.IPEnabled -eq $True} | `

% {$_.SetWINSServer("172.16.1.240", "172.16.1.241")} }

On Error Resume Next

Const wbemFlagReturnImmediately = &h10
Const wbemFlagForwardOnly = &h20

arrComputers = Array(".")
For Each strComputer In arrComputers
   WScript.Echo
   WScript.Echo "=========================================="
   WScript.Echo "Computer: " & strComputer
   WScript.Echo "=========================================="

   Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\.\root\CIMV2\Security\MicrosoftTpm")
   Set colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM Win32_Tpm", "WQL", _
                                          wbemFlagReturnImmediately + wbemFlagForwardOnly)
   For Each objItem In colItems
     WScript.Echo "SpecVersion: " & objItem.SpecVersion
     SpecVersion = CStr(objItem.SpecVersion)
   Next
              If Left(SpecVersion,3) = 1.2 Then
                    WScript.Echo "TPM is version 1.2"
              Else
                    WScript.Echo "TPM is NOT version 1.2."
              WScript.Quit
              End If
