Hi, I'm actually wondering the same thing. However, I may be able to help a little bit (if you're using VB 6 or higher). I just know that with the "Shell" code you can open .exe's that are located in the system root (such as command prompt type things). For example the line of code: Shell ("Regedit.exe") would open Regedit which is located in C:\WINDOWS directory. I hope that helps a little bit.
