VBA Macro to Insert Objects in Excel

This macro inserts objects from files in a selected folder into the active worksheet. It uses the FileSystemObject to get a reference to the selected folder, then loops through all files in that folder. For each file, it inserts the file path into the current cell and adds the file as an OLE object with an icon. It offsets to the next row before each iteration.
