Vista - right click option to run a scipt without closing the window when done?

I tried adding the following as a custom right-click command (via folder
options) but I keep getting access denied permission errors (with the file
path and name in the error text) when trying to run it via a right click on
a vbs file:
%SystemRoot%\system32\cmd.exe /k C:\WINDOWS\System32\CScript.exe "%1"

Which should resolve to something like this at runtime (which runs fine at
the command prompt by the way):
c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe /k C:\WINDOWS\System32\CScript.exe "C:\Documents
and Settings\Steve\Desktop\example.vbs"

The default "Open with command prompt" just runs the vbs and then exits, I
want the window the remain open when done. The /k tells the command window
to stay open when done (so you can read the output, etc).

Q: Any ideas why this isn't working, or how to get the desired action?

Tested using XP-Pro SP2. I can provide a screen cap of the dialog if you
need the visual.

'%1' argument.

The code below should create the item for you. It works on my comptuer &
I am also using XP-Pro SP2.

Set oWSH = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
sSendTo = oWSH.Environment("Process").Item("UserProfile") & "\SendTo\"
With oWSH.CreateShortcut(sSendTo & "Run With CScript.lnk")
.TargetPath = "%SystemRoot%\system32\cmd.exe"
.Arguments = "/k %systemroot%\system32\cscript.exe //NoLogo"
.WorkingDirectory = "%temp%"
.Description = "Run VBScript with CScript & leave window open."
.IconLocation = "%systemroot%\system32\cscript.exe, 0"
.Save
End With

associate this with a batch script that runs the script as vbscript and then
executes a PAUSE statement.
