From my rather dated httpd.conf:

# However, Apache on Windows allows either the Unix behavior above, or can
# use the Registry to match files by extention.  The command to execute 
# a file of this type is retrieved from the registry by the same method as 
# the Windows Explorer would use to handle double-clicking on a file.
# These script actions can be configured from the Windows Explorer View menu, 
# 'Folder Options', and reviewing the 'File Types' tab.  Clicking the Edit
# button allows you to modify the Actions, of which Apache 1.3 attempts to
# perform the 'Open' Action, and failing that it will try the shebang line.
# This behavior is subject to change in Apache release 2.0.
#
# Each mechanism has it's own specific security weaknesses, from the means
# to run a program you didn't intend the website owner to invoke, and the
# best method is a matter of great debate.
#
# To enable the this Windows specific behavior (and therefore -disable- the
# equivilant Unix behavior), uncomment the following directive:
#
#ScriptInterpreterSource registry

So I enabled the ScriptInterpreterSource feature, checked:

ftype JSFile
JSFile=%SystemRoot%\System32\CScript.exe "%1" %*

and used c:\programme\xampp\cgi-bin\jscgi.js containing:

WScript.Echo("Content-Type: text/html\n");
WScript.Echo("OK:", WScript.ScriptFullName, new Date());

successfully. I did not touch other settings like AddHandler, directory, or ScriptAlias, and I just tested phpinfo.php and printenv.pl to see if this change wrecked my installation blatantly - no.

You should be much more prudent.

Update wrt comment:

According to the 2.4 docs (search for "ScriptInterpreterSource") the directive is still valid. Are you sure the apache user account associates .js files with cscript.exe?
