If I find cscript.exe in my Task Manager, is there a way to find
out how it got launched or what file it's executing?

Hi,

Download the free Process Explorer from SysInternals (task manager on
steroids) and from it right click on cscript.exe and select Properties
to see the command line which it was started with (will include the
script file path/name).
