help with scripts in iTunes

Hi. I found a script for iTunes that I want to try. The script is in .vbs format. If it works, I will have all my music sorted into playlists with each playlist containing the songs from one of the folders I have my music sorted into on my hard drive like I have been trying to do for months. The problem I am having is the instructions are not clear enough. They say to make a folder called /itunes/scripts and put the script in that folder. Then, I am running windows xp, so I downloaded the Windows Script 5.7 for Windows XP thing they talked about, but did not install it yet because I do not know if I need it or not. So my questions are: 1. Should I install Windows Script 5.7 for Windows XP or not? 2. Once the script is in the correct folder, what do I do with it? Do I have to press enter on it to open it or do I use it from within itunes itself? 3. How many scripts can I use at once? 4. Do I need any programing skills to use scripts? Incase you are wondering, I found this script and a bunch of other ones at samsoft.org.uk/iTunes/scripts.asp#ImportM3U and the one I want to try is called ImportFolderStructure. Thank you.
