Use the process class to start your program. The processinfo class will
gives you more control over it.

I am curious which command you want to run. Maybe there is a better
solution. If you want to shell another application, you may want to use the
code below:

\\\
Dim p As Process = Process.Start("C:\foo.exe")
p.WaitForExit()
MsgBox("Program terminated!")
///
