- Description
- The SCT file type, associated with Windows Scriptlet, is a script file format used by Windows Script Host. Scriptlets are small pieces of code written in languages supported by the Windows Script Host, such as VBScript or JScript. These script files can automate tasks, manipulate files and folders, and interact with system services on a Windows operating system. An SCT file contains XML-formatted data that defines the script's properties, references, and the script code itself.
- The AW file type, standing for Answer Wizard File, is associated primarily with Microsoft Office applications, particularly with Microsoft Word and its integrated help system. AW files are designed to store indexes and data used by the Answer Wizard feature, enabling users to search for and receive help or answers to questions about using Microsoft Office programs. The Answer Wizard offers a more intuitive way for users to find assistance by allowing them to type questions in natural language, after which it searches through its database of AW files to provide relevant help.
