Hi,
not sure who you were addressing this to, but I'll comment anyway. VB scripts are actually executed by the windows scripting host, which for a 98 box is an add on component available at

The wshshell.run that you refer to is actually an instance of the scripting host object - wshshell - and a method of that object - run - which shells out of the script to run another program. In other words, it's not a file. Hope this helps a little.....
