Hello friends Can someone help me out with the code below? I

know JavaScript but I never seen anything like this
the objects and functions are weird for me
When I see this code I think I know nothing about JavaScript
Is it pure JavaScript or something else?
because I searched for that in the docs but I found nothing

function run(){
WshShell= new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
WshShell.Run("c:/Windows/System32/notepad.exe",1,false);
}
