I use a LOT of scripts. I sometimes will roll out a script to users, or other people on the IT staff. There are times that I would rather they not see the source of the script for various reasons. Answer to this? VBS to EXE!
VbsToExe is a command line application that converts VB-Scripts into an executable. This utility hides the source of your scripts and protects them optionally with a password.

Here is a better solution: http://www.abyssmedia.com/scriptcryptor
Unlike the other converters it really convert script into native EXE and doesn’t extract script to the TEMP folder. In additional it support WScript object.
@icezone:
Looks like the Script Cryptor from Abyssmedia is nice, but it comes with a $54.95 price tag. It is indeed a better product, but for free, VBS to EXE comes in pretty nice
Yes, VBS to EXE is free, but not guarantee compatibility, see disclaimer:
The resulted program may not work correct. Some VBScript functions are not available.
