5.0 out of 5 stars Gain full control over your computer and its applications, 1 Mar 2002
This book is like a bible. I brought it as a beginner in windows scripting and now i can do almost anytyhing using scripting.

Scripting secrets gives you an introduction to scripting, shows you how to find out how to use objects bought along by other programs and gives you loads of ready made scripts which you can use instantly from the CD provided.

If you are a beginner in scripting then this book is a must

3.0 out of 5 stars Not for the complete beginner, 10 Oct 2002
By A Customer
If you are a complete beginner to scripting then this book is not for you. Even though the Author explains concepts clearly you need some scripting experience before using this book - beware!!
An appendix at the back of the book of the functions would have been nice also instead of being spread throughout the book

1.0 out of 5 stars Where are the secrets ???, 25 Feb 2006
This book is being sold on the premise that the information held within is unique e.g. SECRET. In reality there is nothing that you can not get from MSDN or with the use of a decent script editing programme. I would rate it as a beginners guide to scripting as the content within is readily available on the net at no cost at all.

Disappointed!!!!
