MORE INFORMATION

Microsoft Internet Scripting KBKeywords

Each KB article in the Internet Scripting collection contains at least one product-specific keyword (called a KBKeyword) that places the article in an appropriate Internet Scripting category. Each KBKeyword is composed of the concatenation of a major topic keyword and a minor topic keyword. For example, you can find all the general VBScript programming articles by using the PrgOtherVBScript keyword to query the Microsoft Knowledge Base.

Use the asterisk (*) wildcard to find articles that fall into the general categories or into an intermediate subcategory. For example, to find all the articles that apply to the use of controls and servers regardless of whether they are Microsoft or third-party controls use PrgCtrls* as the keyword to query the Microsoft Knowledge Base. An article usually has only one KBkeyword, but it may have more.

Here are the topics and the corresponding KBKeywords. The minor topics are in the indented list under each major topic.
