I have, I think, read that it is possible to remove Internet Explorer
from later versions of Windows.  If that has been done, it seems likely
that the system will no longer run HTA files.

It is possible to write a *.HTA application whose core is a *.JS file
that runs in windows Scripting Host at a Windows Command Prompt.  For an
example, read
<http://www.merlyn.demon.co.uk/programs/32-bit/seakfyle.htm>, which
describes a selective folder-searcher.
