Is there a way to get access to a window handle in windows using WSH, or WMI or similar? I just want to flag a window as always-on-top. Ideally I'd use windows script host for this.

Please note, I don't want to install PowerShell on the system in question. We are nervous about any additional software and already have some VBS files involved.
