I am not trying to send it to an application. I want to
take a full screenshot of the entire screen and paste it
into mspaint. That is different, isn't it? Or am I wrong?

oops! I spoke too soon. The script actually writes all
the times for the events it pulls from the eventlog 6 hours
behind the correct time. I have checked to make sure that
the computers (yes, I have tested the script on 2 xp
machines) have the same time settings which are for the
same correct time zone, they are both set to correct for
daylight savings time (the script has the same problem even
if they are set not to correct for day light savings time)
and both machines show the correct time in the task bar.
The event logs on both machines give the correct time for
the events, so it must be the script. The script also uses
the now() command to report the time the script was written
and now() reports the correct time. I have listed the
script and some example output from it below. Please let
me know if you see anything out of place. Thanks!
Script:
Set objFS = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
'Open logfile. True means Overwrite any old file
Set objLogFile =
objFS.CreateTextFile("d:\watch\when_on.log", True)
'Write to log file
objLogFile.WriteLine("Log started at " & now() )
strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
& "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer &
"\root\cimv2")
Set colLoggedEvents = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
("Select * from Win32_NTLogEvent Where Logfile = 'System'
and " _
& "EventCode = '6005' or EventCode = '6006'")
for each objevent in colloggedevents
Dim wConvDate
Set wConvDate = CreateObject("WbemScripting.SWbemDateTime")
wConvDate.Value = objevent.timewritten
objLogFile.WriteLine(wConvDate.GetVarDate & ": " &
objevent.message )

I'm pretty sure that sendkeys sends whatever keys you want to the currently

Hhhmmm, good point. One of my problems is that mspaint is
not the active application. When I run it, nothing is the
active application. Wierd. Mabey alt+printscreen or some
other key combo will work. I'll give it a try and post
back. Thanks for the discussion, Steve. It is helping my
mind progress in this problem.

Assuming that the script is running in the context of your account that has
the necessary privileges (not running from an ASP page, is it?), it could be
that:
- no files happen to match *.* at the time the script ran;

You can try this:
http://www.jsware.net/jsware/scripts.html#draw
It's a free ActiveX DLL component that provides
drawing functions to script. One of the functions
will save a screen capture to a BMP file, taking
parameters of BMP file path and screen coordinates
to be included in the capture.
I don't know whether
you can get MS Paint to open the BMP but that
may work as a command line call such as:
WscriptShell.Run "C:\Windows\Paint.exe C:\capture.bmp"

It is not "spying on children". It is monitoring the use
of my computer. My son knows about it, it is no secret to
him that I will know when anyone turns the computer on or
off, which websites are visited, and take screen shots on
occasion of the screen while anyone is on the computer. I
do not want to disable my son from getting to adult
content on the internet. I want him to know that if he
gives into the temptation of going to such sites, that it
will not be secret and he will not be able to escape the
consequences. How will he ever learn to control himself
if he can't get to the sites in the first place? He is
almost a teenager. Content filtering is fine for very
young children. But as kids grow, they need to learn for
themselves how to judge and follow what is right and what
is wrong.
Spying on children IS a misuse. If you're in the US it's
probably legal but in the EU children have rights to
privacy.
There's a gazillion providers that offer a "family filter"
service that provides a very safe browsing experience.

Get rid of the Quotes around it:
cscript x:\path\to\DelTmpFiles.vbs
Or, change your Target to:
cmd.exe /c "cscript x:\path\to\DelTmpFiles.vbs"
Of, if cscript is already your default script host, you can just enter:
x:\path\to\DelTmpFiles.vbs
