VBScript I believe. Also, JavaScript can be used.

[edit]though AppleScript is more functional and less of a backdoor for the script-kiddies.

Yes, Microsoft Windows has a counterpart to Mac's Applescript called Windows PowerShell. PowerShell is a task automation and configuration management framework from Microsoft, consisting of a command-line shell and associated scripting language built on the .NET Framework. It allows users to automate administrative tasks and manage system configurations through command-line tools and scripts, similar to how AppleScript works on Mac. However, while AppleScript is primarily used for automating tasks on Mac, PowerShell is also used for system administration and server management on Windows.
