When a .vbs script is run from the command line, it will by default show a Microsoft header:

Microsoft (R) Windows Script Host Version 5.7
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

How can this be disabled?

I assume you mean with cscript since wscript doesn't show anything. You can use the nologo switch of cscript to stop the annoying copyright message from being displayed.

For example:

cscript /nologo xx.vbs
