Forums -> UltraMon™ -> MinimizeWnd.vbs just stopped working on Vista

I've been using MinimizeWnd.vbs on two systems working okay.

Today:

1) MinimizeWnd.vbs started opening in Notepad when I use the hotkey (ALT+f3)

2) I added a file association for .vbs to cscript.exe

3) Now my Hotkey brings up a "DOS" window that runs CScript but doesn't minimize my window.

Have you seen the .vbs scripts get "disconnected" like this before?

How to fix?

Maybe a security software changed the default action for .vbs files from open to edit. To change this, run regedit.exe, then go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\VBSFile\Shell and set the (Default) value to Open.

The command for the open action should be:

"%SystemRoot%\System32\WScript.exe" "%1" %*
