>Could you provide me insight on using the WSH Wscript.Shell object?

Easiest is to click through to the MS scripting site in my signature. If WSH is installed, the Wscript.Shell automation object has a Run method, and the third paramater is a logical indicating whether or not to wait on termination. The full docs for WSH are available at the MS site along with the self-installing, redistributable WSH file, and some tools like a debugger and script compiler.
