Sriram,

	The C# syntax for this is:

	ProcessStartInfo newProcessInfo = new
ProcessStartInfo(@"c:\yourprogram.exe");
	newProcessInfo.CreateNoWindow = false;
	newProcessInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Normal;
	newProcessInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
	Process newProcess = Process.Start(newProcessInfo);

	I assume that the VB.NET syntax won't be much different.
However, since this is run under the processModel of the ASPNET account
(which is usually SYSTEM or MACHINE), you will not be able to see the
window that is running, but the program does run.

Hope this helps,
Minh.
