hmmm... I assumed that it could be a case of a process being started which 
than starts another one.  The first one is monitored but returns directly, 
which is detected and causes the error to be displayed.

As for being delegated to an already existing process ?  1) I only get the 
error when starting those scripts thru a shortcut, 2) I have started a 
script (a simple "hello" box) thru a shortcut trice, and can see three 
"wscript.exe" processes running in the task manager.

Indeed they do.  But as I'm using shortcuts as intended I expected them to 
work too.
