'Start the WordPad application
WshShl.Run "WordPad"

Alternativly the following will run a batch file which can contain commands of your choice. The WScript.Sleep 3000 allows the batch file to complete before the .vbs continues...

Dim oShell
Set oShell = WScript.CreateObject ("WScript.shell")
oShell.run "c:\prepare.bat"
Set oShell = Nothing
WScript.Sleep 3000


Hope this helps

WshShell.Run "CMD /C dir c:\ >> c:\diroutput.txt",1,TRUE
/C will close the CMD prompt window when it completes

WshShell.Run "CMD /K dir c:\ >> c:\diroutput.txt",1,TRUE
/K will leave the CMD prompt window open until you close it, thus stopping the script.

You can use most DOS commands this way. I use xcopy extensivly in my scripts, you just may need to figure out "'s though as it can be a pain.

As a followup to your post, if you put a ,1,TRUE on the end of the line to launch your BAT file the Script would wait for the BAT file to be completed before continuing.

ie oShell.run "c:\prepare.bat",1,TRUE
