The SCRIPT file extension is used for a program file format that allows for the storage of code written using a given scripting syntax, such as VBScript. This kind of code can be used to create an automated task on Windows platforms, and provides an alternative to other kinds of programming languages like JavaScript, Python, or PHP. Programs with the SCRIPT file extension can be edited with any text editor, such as the Windows Notepad program. A special programming editor such as Notepad++, however, is recommended for those more familiar with coding.
Use and Functionality
The primary role of a SCRIPT file in Windows is to make automated tasks faster to perform. This can range from a basic set of commands to a complex set of instructions. For instance, it could be used to automatically open programs, or run tasks unattended. Additionally, the code used in a SCRIPT file is much smaller than what would be required in other languages, such as Java. As such, programs or scripts created with SCRIPT files are less likely to cause conflicts on the surrounding environment.
Similar File Extensions
Other similar file formats include: .VBS, .JS, .PL, .PY, .PHP, and .BAT.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .SCRIPT) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .SCRIPT extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .SCRIPT file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .SCRIPT extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .SCRIPT extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .SCRIPT file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .SCRIPT file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .SCRIPT file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .SCRIPT file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .SCRIPT file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
