Launch an app from inside a vb program

[Jm]

Hi all

Im using System.Diagnostics.Process.Start to launch external apps from my
app but the working directory seems to point to where my app is located. How
can i get around this and basically say the working directory is the path of
the app that im launching ? I used shellexec api under vb6 is there an
equivalent built into .net ? Any help is greatly apprecuated

Thanks

Have a look at the ProcessStartInfo class.
