See many examples on technet Script Center Script Repository.
A simple example is Select and Ping Computers Using a Text File:
On Error Resume Next
Const ForReading = 1
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objTextFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile("c:\scripts\servers.txt", ForReading)
strComputers = objTextFile.ReadAll
objTextFile.Close
arrComputers = Split(strComputers, vbCrLf)
Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
For Each strComputer In arrComputers
strCommand = "%comspec% /c ping -n 3 -w 1000 " & strComputer
Set objExecObject = objShell.Exec(strCommand)
strText = objExecObject.StdOut.ReadAll
If Instr(strText, "Reply") > 0 Then
' =====================================================================
' Insert your code here
' =====================================================================
Set objWMIService = GetObject _
("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
("Select * From Win32_OperatingSystem")
For Each objItem In ColItems
Wscript.Echo strComputer & ": " & objItem.Caption
Next
Else
Wscript.Echo strComputer & " could not be reached."
End If
Next

function getFileInfo(filePath)
dim fso, fileObj, outMsg
set fso = createobject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
set fileObj = fso.getfile(filePath)
outMsg = ""
outMsg = outMsg & " Created: " & fileObj.DateCreated & vbcrlf
outMsg = outMsg & " Last Accessed: " & fileObj.DateLastAccessed & vbcrlf
outMsg = outMsg & " Last Modified: " & fileObj.DateLastModified & vbcrlf
outMsg = outMsg & " File Type: " & fileObj.Type & vbcrlf
if fileObj.attributes and 0 then
outMsg = outMsg & " File Attributes: Normal File"
else
outMsg = outMsg & " File Attributes: "
if fileObj.attributes and 1 then
outMsg = outMsg & "Read Only "
end if
if fileObj.attributes and 2 then
outMsg= outMsg & "Hidden "
end if
if fileObj.attributes and 4 then
outMsg= outMsg & "System "
end if
if fileObj.attributes and 8 then
outMsg= outMsg & "Volume "
end if
if fileObj.attributes and 16 then
outMsg= outMsg & "Directory "
end if
if fileObj.attributes and 32 then
outMsg= outMsg & "Archive "
end if

outMsg= outMsg & "Link "

set fileObj = nothing
set fso = nothing
getFileInfo = outMsg
end function

Answer 5

Even simplier
This code works for all OS, I tried it in Windows 10 and it works so well:
Try it by yourself :)
Function BrowseForFile()
BrowseForFile = CreateObject("WScript.Shell").Exec( _
"mshta.exe ""about:<input type=file id=f>" & _
"<script>resizeTo(0,0);f.click();new ActiveXObject('Scripting.FileSystemObject')" & _
".GetStandardStream(1).WriteLine(f.value);close();</script>""" _
).StdOut.ReadLine()
End Function
