You need elevated permissions: Set Shell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

A better plan is to store the commands in a table or text file, and have a
batch file wake up on a schedule (say every minute) and run all the tasks in
the table or file. Then you don't have to worry about making your anonymous
web user an administrator of the box... just a thought.
