Using VBS to launch web based VNC Viewer

[dseaver]

I am trying to make a vbs that opens IE, connects to a w2k machine with realvnc at the address somehost:5800, connect to the vnc server, send ctrl-alt-del via the F8 keypress menu, and populate the logon username with the xp pc's username, here is what I have so far, along with where it stops working:

 set IE=Wscript.CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application","objIE_")
    IE.Navigate("[URL unfurl="true"]http://somehost:5800")[/URL]
    IE.visible = True
	WScript.Sleep(10000)
	Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
	

	WshShell.SendKeys "{ENTER}"
	WScript.Sleep(5000)
	WshShell.SendKeys "{F8}"<<Does not bring up the f8 menu
	WshShell.Sendkeys"{DOWN}"
	WshShell.Sendkeys"{DOWN}"
	WshShell.Sendkeys"{DOWN}"
	WshShell.Sendkeys"{DOWN}"
	WshShell.Sendkeys"{ENTER}"
	

	Wscript.Sleep(1000)
	Set WSHNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
	
	WshShell.SendKeys WSHNetwork.username

I am limited to using a script and IE, otherwise I would use a vnc viewer for this, but that is out of the question

I got sendkeys ^%+{del} to work in a different window, but it doesnt work in the scop of this script. here is the updated script

 set IE=Wscript.CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application","objIE_")
    IE.Navigate("[URL unfurl="true"]http://somehost:5800")[/URL]
    IE.visible = True
	WScript.Sleep(10000)
	Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
	

	WshShell.SendKeys "{ENTER}"
	WScript.Sleep(500)

	WshShell.SendKeys "%^+{DEL}"

	

	Wscript.Sleep(1000)
	Set WSHNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
	
	WshShell.SendKeys WSHNetwork.username

Also, If there is a mouse click on the java before WshShell.SendKeys "%^+{DEL}", the rest of the script works
