List of windows of COM objects?

Hiya I just want to make some Windows scripts, and I know that with this method you can bind this topic called "COM" using the WScript.createObject () method. I do not know what objects are available to instantiate using this method. My google-fu shows only a thousand and one complicated method for creating and exchanging messages with COM objects. There is one answer using a powershell script that supposedly displays / currently available / com objects. What interests me is a list of objects that can reasonably be expected by default on most machines with a version of windows installed. It seems like a high order. In particular, I'm interested in any / standard / available COM objects that can be used to resize and crop an image. I want to know,Is this possible without installing any external third-party utility, such as image magic.

It is best to use this powershell script (or Microsoft OLE View ) to see what is installed on the machine after a fresh install of Windows.

Unfortunately, there is no "standard list". It even changes depending on the version of Windows you have installed. The most complete answer would be to install a collection of Windows (XP, Vista, 7, possibly 8) and find the intersection of the lists.

Alas, this is a lot of work for the main investigative procedure. If there is a specific component or task that you are trying to find out about, you can ask a new question only about that. Or you can just try it on some clean Windows installations.
