Can't get .vbs file to run

My taskbar does not display open applications nor will it display any
applications or windows that I have open. The processes are running and I can
switch between the applications seamlessly using alt+tab. Upon some research
I have found an apparent fix:

http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm
Line 240: Programs Aren't Minimized in the Taskbar
Line 164: Restore Taskbar to Default Functionality

I download these scripts to my Desktop and double click to execute the file.
A cmd prompt opens up and goes away in a split second. The same goes for when
selecting to "Run" instead of saving to my Desktop from the site. It is said
that when you run the script you get a confirmation message upon successfully
running the script, I also do not get this confirmation message.

I know nothing about vbscripts and I am thinking that I may need to upgrade
my version of it?
I have running on Windows XP Home Edition.

Thanks for the time.
