Launching WSH/VBScript file from IE8 not working

I have created a custom rightclick menu element in IE8 using the following registry info:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\MenuExt\WebOn edit] @="c:\\webon_edit\\wo_edit.vbs"

The choice "WebOn edit" shows up in IE8's rightclick menu. Before upgrading to Windows 7, this worked fine: When I clicked the menu choice, the "wo_edit.vbs" file ran (using cscript) and did the stuff it was supposed to.

But now, nothing happens. It seems like cscript does not get invoked at all.

Is this due to some security restrictions about not using external vbscript from IE?
