Yes, ExecFile is the command, while CreateProcess works only with Blitz+.

Here is a sample of a vbscript which writes in a file the day of week:

createfile(weekdayname(weekday(now)))

Sub CreateFile(day)
   Dim fso, tf
   'open the file
   Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
   Set tf = fso.CreateTextFile(".\weekday.txt", True)
   ' Write a line with a newline character.
   tf.WriteLine(day)
   tf.Close
End Sub

However, I would use only the weekday function, and retrieve the number of the day of the week; this because on an english O.S. you get, for example, 'Thursday', while on a german, the string written on the file would be 'Donnerstag'.
