GPS Utility
edit- I forgot about this. Also have never used it for shp files, but it might work as well or better for you (it's totally freeware).

GPS Utility is supposed to convert shp files but I've never tried it.

Web site says the freeware version "is limited to 100 waypoints, 5 routes of up to 10 waypoints each, 500 trackpoints, bitmap image size of 2000x2000 pixels."
Grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked, The good fortune to run into the ones I do, And the eyesight to tell the difference.
