Use AppActivate to make the selected Window Active

Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.Run "calc"
WScript.Sleep 100
WshShell.AppActivate "Calculator"

This example runs the Windows Calculator and makes the Windows Calculator the active Window. The Application being made active should have the full title bar name in your script. For example notepad should read:

WshShell.AppActivate "Untitled - Notepad"
