It's a little hard working out from your description when exactly the script
fails. Would it be at first logon time, perhaps after a cold boot? If so
then the cause might be some missing ActiveX component, one that gets loaded
only later on. Have you tried inserting this statement just before you
create the oExplorer object:

wscript.sleep 20000

The other thing I do not understand is this statement: "Basically I have a
VBS scripted everything out". Please clarify.
