Possible to use a .vbs as a shell?

[murphy]

I've tried for several hours to make a simple script run as the shell.
It performs fine by itself under the intended user. Also I can run
iexplore.exe as the shell. Is there some rule against running a
vbscript? I'm setting hklm\software\microsoft\windows
nt\winlogon\shell to the full path of the script. I'm running xp pro
sp2 and have McAfee anti-virus going. Something's thwarting me but
what? If necessary, I can write a program to launch what I need and
monitor that it does not exit.

Thanks!

what did you try to run? the script.vbs or the
c:\windows\system32\cscript.exe script.vbs?
