I would like to open a ".scpt" file, what editors can I use?
P.S. I am using Windows, so the App should support Windows.
As others have said, .scpt files are compiled versions of your script. Save your script as a .applescript (i.e. TEXT) file if you want to edit your script on a machine without AppleScript.

I was trying to make a batch file that compresses a specific folder (using winrar) to a specific location (not the same as the folder location), password (that I can choose myself) protects it AND does all of that without a cmd screen popping up.
I have very little knowledge of programming and managed to get some things working, but not all at the same time and in the same batch file.
Also to rar that file do I need Winrar to be installed on the computer or can I reffer to the rar.exe (copied from the Program Files Windows folder to a different location)?
AFAIK it's not possible to run a a bat file without a visible CMD window without using any additional tools. Here's a link to a post how to run a hidden console: https://superuser.com/questions/62525/run-a-batch-file-in-a-completely-hidden-way
It is possible to use just the rar.exe but I would use 7zip instead. The performance is way better, it's also portable and you have many options in the command line. So your project would contain the bat file itself, the vb script file and the 7z.exe (or rar.exe). If you want, you can even create a single .exe file out of these three by creating a SFX file: http://www.7zsfx.info/en/
Hope I could help you.
Our Apache web server works in a Linux environment.
The cgi executables are called via a sh file (for example /cgi-bin/iwsblogin.sh).
The call "/cgi-bin/iwsblogin.sh" is in an html file.
Now I want to make a development and testing environment for this web server on windows.
I do not want to change the calls in the html files from "iwsblogin.sh" to "iwsblogin.bat" just for testing purposes.
Is there a way to configure windows in such a way, that files with the extension ".sh" are treated as executables the same way as ".bat" and ".exe" files?
The contents of this .sh file is for example:
- ms dos commands for setting some environment variables.
- Path of an exe file which should be called.
I know that there exist similar questions on stackoverflow where user suggest using cygwin, but this is NOT an option for me!
Thanks alot in advance
There are some ways to do this.
If the .sh file works when you rename it to .bat, you can use "run as" and select C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe as default program
Use a sh emulator. For example, msysgit includes one or you can use cygwin (possibly the same source?).
I know you don't want to use cygwin, but why not? Please explain why this isn't an option. It is hard to look for an answer if we don't know why regular answers won't work.
This is my first time using packagemaker. Basically, I need to copy some files to some folder, and then open photoshop and load a .atn file. I have the applescript written but how can I execute this applescript from package maker?
Thanks.
You can run it from inside a bash script.
check here for details.
I have a shell extension installed into the filesystem by adding ".{CLSID}" to the folder name. The Shell Extension is like the .zip extension (allowing you to see files). Explorer handles it fine, but how do I get other program to recognize the sub files/folder (programs like command shell). I navigate to the directory with the shell and it shows the empty folder (also, it doesnt strip away the clsid). Is there some way to implement that functionality? Do I have to install the extension in a different way?
Thanks!

If I remember correctly, there is no documented way to add an extension to the windows cli shell (cmd.exe).
There is an add on shell for windows called 4NT that is extensible.
That said, you'll still end up writing scripts if I understand your question correctly.
I have a bash file that does some file manipulation. I don't want to have to open the terminal every time I run it. Is there a way to make the program run when I double click it? (Like a windows .exe file)
Thanks
You can add a ".command" extension to the filename -- then double-clicking it will automatically open Terminal and run the script in a new window. Note: this assumes you still want to watch/interact with the script via a Terminal interface; if you want to avoid this as well, wrapping the script with Platypus, AppleScript, or Automator (as Zifei and Ned suggest) would be better options.
What you need is Platypus.
Platypus is a developer tool for the Mac OS X operating system. It can be used to create native, flawlessly integrated Mac OS X applications from interpreted scripts such as shell scripts or Perl and Python programs. This is done by wrapping the script in an application bundle directory structure along with an executable binary that runs the script.
The easiest thing to do is to type: sudo chmod 755 the_file_Name.This will allow you to double click on the file in the finder.
With OS X 10.5+, you can wrap the bash shell script in an AppleScript application using the AppleScript editor or an Automator application using Automator.app (see the Automator on-line help).
You could write (and there are apps out there that do this) an OS X app that accepts arbitrary .sh files and executes them. However, that's generally a bad idea as it could open you up to attacks if you inadvertently download a malicious shell script file that is automatically opened by your web browser. Better to be explicit.
