I thought that shell is supposed to open a file. Nice post, could help some people.

That executes commands as if it was a "Run..." dialog box, not a CMD..

to run CMD commands:

Shell("cmd.exe /k COMMAND")

Wow I should get credit. I told you how to do this in the shoutbox today.

[ixGAMEOVERxixx]

Your welcome!

You do know that when you type a command into CMD, all it does is run that program with the specified arguments?

I.e if you type "ipconfig /all", all CMD does is run "ipconfig.exe" and pass it the argument "/all".

CMD is nothing special; it just executes things.

CMD executes things that can't be ran in normal windows. Parameter programs.

Yeah, it basically does the thing when you make a shortcut, and you put commands in the target.
