Visual Basic 6.0: Using 'Shell' function

Today I will learn you a little bit to run other applications from your own application!

TIP: Ïf you will run an progam in C:\WINDOWS or an other directory in the WINDOWS directory then you don't need to enter the location, but if it's not in the C:\WINDOWS directory, you need to enter the application and the name of the application you run.
