Default Help: Excel and Shell Command

What I'm trying to do is creat a speadsheet that is a checklist for
Standard Operating Procedures. I have check boxes and when a box gets
checked, I call the shell function (vbscript) to launch other apps
(cmd, notepad, etc)

What i'm having touble with is launching active directory (dsa.msc)

I've tried:

Shell ("dsa.msc")
Shell ("cmd dsa.msc")
Shell ("\\localhost\cmd dsa.msc")
Shell ("c:\windows\system32\dsa.msc")

Any ideas on what I am doing wrong and how I can get this to work.

Thanks a lot
