If WScript.Arguments.Named.Exists( "e" ) Then
CreateObject( "WScript.Shell" ).Run "notepad"
Else
WScript.Echo "no no"
End If

Cheers!

As the options you want to work with

<yourscript>.vbs /c:"something else here" /u:"a reference here"

aren't simple boolean (yes/no) switches like in

<yourscript>.vbs /e

you can't just check whether the user entered an option name (e.g. /c) but
you have to read/store/work with the option value (e.g. "something else here").
