To start any external program in VB.NET you use Process.Start(). There are a few overloads so you might want to check the help for the details. "cmd.exe" is the command prompt in Windows XP, so the easiest way to start a command window is to call Process.Start("cmd"). Note that this will start the command prompt at the current directory, which is likely to be the applications program folder. You can set the current directory first using System.IO.Directory.SetCurrentDirectory(path).
