Does error trapping the CREATEOBJECT command suppress the "class not reg" msg or is it unavoidable if not registered?

>Use of the Shell object requires the presence of Shell32.dll v4.71 or later. This dll is usually associated with IE 4.0 or later on Win95 machines, or (I think) SP3 for WinNT. All Win2K and Win98 machines have it.
