Someone PLEASE Help...So Simple...

[Ads]

I am trying to execute a simple command line in my visual basic application to launch a batch file.
for example if i wanted to delete a picture from my harddrive, the ms-dos prompt would be:

delete c:\pictures\christmas.jpg

How do I execute it from VB? I have heard of a DOCMD or something like that. Please...I need immediate help.

Thanks Tim...
I am more specifically trying to execute a batch file...
Do you know what that command is.
