HTA Applications

if you're aware of VB Script and know basic HTML then you're going to love HTA applications. Essentially they are ways to access code written in scripting languages that internet explorer can understand (so if you know any JScript, this is another way of using it), your 'form' or page is written in HTML and you can add calls to methods that you've defined in the scripting language of your chosing. In this way it's possible to create software that performs a number of functions in a windows environment if you're restricted in what you're allowed to implement on your network.
