How to Copy a VBS File

VBS stands for Visual Basic Scripting Edition. These VBScript files contain sets of instructions that the Windows operating system is capable of understanding and using to perform automated tasks. VBS files sit on your hard drive like any other file, but they will execute in the Windows Scripting Host and perform their pre-programmed action when you double-click them. Copying a VBS file is no different from copying other files in Windows.

Instructions

    • 1

      Open Windows Explorer from a shortcut or the "Start" > "Computer" menu and navigate to the directory containing your .VBS file.

    • 2

      Right-click the file and click "Copy."

    • 3

      Navigate to or create the folder where the copied file will go.

    • 4

      Right-click an empty area of the window and click "Paste."

Tips & Warnings

  • You can also copy the file with the "CTRL" and "C" key combination and paste with the "CTRL" and "V" combination.
