Much thanks for the quick reply and source snippet. I found my fault in what I was missing. I downloaded the mozilla source and compiled it (2 1/2 hrs later), the mozilla/dist/bin had all the elements that I needed to get this started. With pointing the first parameter of NS_NewLocalFile() to the Mozilla bin directory it fired right up. I DID have to add the mozilla/dist/bin dir to my PATH variable so it could find the XPCOM.dll file. YA! First step in getting off that blasted IE COM object!
