    1. Well, I’ve been thinking about this, and in a fit of rum-based inspiration, I think I’ve hacked something together. The trick is to use two scripts. The first script calls CSCRIPT.exe to run the second script in a hidden console window. It’s in this hidden second script you can do your work.

      Consider the following example:
      A.vbs

      CreateObject("WScript.Shell").Run "cscript B.vbs", 0, True

      B.vbs

      Set i = CreateObject("WScript.Shell").Exec("cmd /c dir c:\ /a/s")
CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject").OpenTextFile( _
  "out.txt", 2, True).WriteLine i.StdOut.ReadAll
