It's not part of VBScript. See here for a component:

There's also a component named "AutoItX"
that's popular. both are free.

Depends on what your looking for really. I would imagine WMI exposes some
things but if your looking for something like give me all open internet
explorer windows for example:

Dim obj_Shell, obj_ShellWindows, obj_ShellWindow
set obj_Shell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
set obj_ShellWindows = obj_Shell.Windows

if (not obj_ShellWindows is nothing) then
for each obj_ShellWindow in obj_ShellWindows
msgBox obj_ShellWindow.LocationUrl & vbcrlf &
obj_ShellWindow.LocationName
MsgBox obj_ShellWindow.Active
Next
End If
