I am pretty sure 'Shell' can actually do that. Did you try to include the arguments in the path? -- M S Herfried K.

It is true p.waitforExit() is waiting until I close the exe, which I have called at the main program, but if I click on the main program the button, which called the exe program, several times, computer "remembers" I have pressed the button, and hence when I close the called exe program, the event occurs, and the exe is opened again. same thing for shell : Shell("newApp.exe", AppWinStyle.NormalFocus, True) If shell is the command line, then it's obvious that I can send parameters within the command line.
