How to determine what vbscripts are running in background - vbscript

Question

I wrote a vbscript to determine what are the vbscripts running in background but when I execute my script . it only opens the folder of my script not the other scripts location or folder . What should I do?? Please help
Myscript.vbs
Set objShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
strPath = Wscript.ScriptFullName
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objFile = objFSO.GetFile(strPath)
strFolder = objFSO.GetParentFolderName(objFile)
strPath = "explorer.exe /e," & strFolder
objShell.Run strPath
Please help guys . I am very new to vbscript .

Answer 1

I have for you an old vbscript since 2015 that can tell you what vbscript is running in the background with its command line of course to get their paths and you have a possiblity to choose what vbscript you want to kill and you get in the end of the script a log file for this.
So you can give a try for this first, and i will edit and update it for any modifications in order to answer your question.

EDIT : Extract_CommandLine.bat
Copy and paste this code as batch file in order to extract the command line of each process.
Set ProcessNames="cmd.exe" "mshta.exe" "powershell.exe" "cscript.exe" "wscript.exe"
You can add or remove the process name from the variable ProcessNames between the double quotes.
