ExSimGuy,
I don't think that disabling Host Scripting will nobble Excel and Word Macros, because they are not Visual Basic Scripts, they are native to the applications (ie. Excel and Word interpret them without needing wscript.exe). Of course, if you include a Visual Basic Script within the macro then it would be a problem, but I suspect that most people don't aspire to that level of deviousness). (Mind you with some of the people that hang around these forums, that is of course a possibility, but my observation is that they tend to be devious - or deviant - in other ways). See too my previous post.
