you can't put quotes in the stuff and it messes things up if you're trying to do something specific.

such as writing a file to do
objFile.Write "oShell.Run "taskkill /f /im explorer.exe", , True" & vbCrLf
won't work because of the quotes between the quotes. is there any way to get around that?

You need to escape the quotes by doubling them:
objFile.Write "oShell.Run ""taskkill /f /im explorer.exe"", , True" & vbCrLf
