- 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.
- An ICO file is an image format used to store icons for Windows programs, files, and folders. It contains two bitmaps: 1) the AND bitmap - the image mask (which determines what part of the icon is transparent) and 2) the XOR bitmap - contains the icon which is mapped onto the image mask. ICO files can be modified to create custom icons.
