The Windows Scripting Console is a project I have been making in the morgue for a while now. Since Windows 98, Internet Explorer has been hiding in many places around the system, including the desktop or the file explorer. Having Internet Explorer in various places means that it should be possible to run JavaScript and VBScript from there. It also means that the calamity known as Electron has actually started decades ago. I want to make it more visible, by providing ways to get a very light equivalent of the usual JavaScript developer tools within those strange contexts.

The source code for the console is at https://tildegit.org/lucidiot/xp-consoles.
