Sriram,

	You can use the following syntax to launch a DOS command: 

	ProcessStartInfo newProcessInfo = new
ProcessStartInfo(@"c:\windows\notepad.exe"); 
	newProcessInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Normal; 
	Process newProcess = Process.Start(newProcessInfo); 

	the ProcessStartInfo has a bunch of other properties worth
taking a look at, such as createNoWindow, useShellExecute and so on. 

	The only caveat of this method is that if you are running it in
a code-behind it will run under the SYSTEM or MACHINE account (whatever
is set in machine.config). Since you are not logged in under these
accounts, the launched program will not appear on the desktop (but it is
running). 

Hope this helps, 
Minh.
