He's *completely* off track with this:
ShellExecute(vbNull, "", strProgram, "", "", SW_SHOWNORMAL)

hWnd should be the parent window for the called application. This 
window receives any message boxes that an application produces. It 
should either be the main window of the calling application or 0  
(certainly not 1). 

I'd guess he tried to use Null originally and it didn't work so he 
tried vbNull and found that it did work.
