The OS installed on your system does not have at least Shell version 4.71 installed, so Shell.Application is not available to you. The solution is to upgrade the shell; without knowing what you've current got installed, but in general:

Win95 - if it is not now present, you have to install IE4. If you currently have IE5 and never had IE4 installed, you must uninstall IE5, install IE4, and then reinstall IE5 to add the needed components.

WinNT 4.0 - Must have post NT 4.0 SP3 installed with Option Pack 4 or IE 4. Current is NT 4.0 SP6a

Win98 - should be present in all versions.

Win2K - should be present in all versions.

The issue for Win95 is the installation of Active Desktop, which could only be added to the original retail Win95 via IE 4. IE 5 will not add Activce Desktop to Win95 retail installations by itself. I believe the necessary components were included in latest (Win95 OSR 2 v 2.1 and later) releases of Win95. These OSR 2 releases are not upgrades to the original Win95 retail product.
