VBS (VBScript File) is a file extension used by Visual Basic Scripting Edition to store Visual Basic source code. It is used to create applications, scripts and components for Windows-based programs. VBS files are based on the Microsoft Visual Basic language and they typically contain functions and procedures that can be referenced by other scripts or programs. VBS files can be written with an advanced text editor, saved and then executed through the Windows Script Host (WSH).
VBScript is a simplified scripting language that is typically interpreted rather than compiled, making it easier to modify than other programming languages. Despite being easy to use, VBScript still has access to the fundamentals of PC scripting language Windows, including integration with the Windows registry, system folders and services.
Similar File Formats
VBS files have similar file formats, such as .VBE, .JS, .JSE, and .WSF, all of which are related to Visual Basic scripting.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .VBS) 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 .VBS 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 .VBS 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 .VBS 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 .VBS extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .VBS file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .VBS 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 .VBS file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .VBS file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .VBS file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
