I took the route of the scripting object because I read somewhere long ago
that the Shell command just uses the ShellExecute API declaration, so I
figured that seeing as he is having a full on crash, we might as well try
something that may not use the same API... there are other API calls to use,
I believe, but I thought it best just to try getting around it for now.
