>Tried the Shell.Application example you posted here. For some reason I'm getting "Class Not Registered" on the CREATEOBJECT("Shell.Application") call. I ran regsvr32 on SHDOCVW.DLL and it returned "success" but it still doesn't work. Any ideas what I could be missing?

SP3 added the correct version of Shell to NT 4.0, the correct provider for the object is currently SHDOC401.DLL - C:\WINNT\System32\SHDOC401.DLL, at version 5.00.2919.6304 on my NT box here. You might try adding the WSH from the msdn.microsoft.com/scripting site and reapplying SP5 if you've reason to suspect you might've rolled back because of loading something from the NT distribution disk, although the necessary shell components should already be present. The updated shell components came in at SP3, so SP5 should be OK, SP6 is in wide use, and SP6a is availalble. I'm running at SP6, IE 5.00.2919.6307 on this box, and it runs fine.
