CreateObject() Explanation.

Can someone please explain to my why the following code opens the windows under the current focused window? I want them to open up focused.

Code:

---

Dim objShell
Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
objShell.FindFiles '(or FileRun)

---

Unless I misunderstand, ShellExecute would be a better choice.

Then the question is how would I use ShellExecute to bring up the Windows Run dialog box or the Windows Find dialog box?
