    Edit: Patchou can solve this problem by creating his own object for registry access instead of forcing the scripts to use the WSH object.

No need, use the Windows registry APIs. You can even do a lot more with them.

They're a pain in the arse! I might just wrap it up into a JavaScript-class later.

so then why should ALL registry/file system access be blocked to scripts, whereas only suspicious things are flagged in real executables (when it's just as easy to do this for scripts too?)?
Because if you block the registry access in executables Windows would stop working. This doesn't mean I don't think it shouldn't be blocked in executables, but hopefully the anti-virus will find the virus, and remove it.

1% of all executables are viruses. 25% of all scripts are viruses. These values may be incorrect, but I hope you understand what I mean.
