you can always use the browse trick:
browse "C:/winnt/system32/cmd.exe"
Depending on your security settings this will either auto-run (horribly
insecure) or prompt you whether to open, save, or cancel.
This same system can be used to run *.vbs scripts via the 'windows scripting
host' using Explorer as a pass-thru launcher (Explorer stays hidden).
/----------Example hello world vbs script-----------------
Set WSHShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
wshshell.run "CMD.EXE"
WScript.Sleep 10
WshShell.SendKeys "Hello World"
...
/----------------------------------------------------------
Regards,
James
