photo/music star ratings?

A colleague who knows such things tells me to use the VBS System.Rating property but I have no real idea myself.

Yes, the star ratings. VBS - good idea.. can I do that without VB installed? Perhaps MS Office? Thanks for the lead.

So the issue is this. I have my camera set to shoot RAW and JPG simultaneously. I use Adobe Organizer to sort the files (yeah, I know, but you gotta pick one) so I was going to go through the JPGs after import and rate them. Anything under 3 stars (ie most of the snaps) I want to delete the RAW files, and anything with no stars I want to delete both RAW and JPG.

However to be able to do this I need the RAW file to have the same star rating as the JPG without having to rate everything twice. They have the file name (but not extension), so I was considering a script that would find the star rating from each JPG and apply it to the RAW file with the same name.

Of course, there's the difference between Adobe XMP, exif and the windows star rating.... gah!

And I'm doing this on Win8 which has Scripting Host instead of DOS prompt it looks like.
