I tried to figure out what forum to post this in, but... i got confused. So i'm posting it here.

Does anyone know vb6 that can answer a question? (Yea, i know, its a newb language, i hate it anywayz, stfoo)

I wanna use vb to run other exe files on my computer. Obviously i'd normally use the shell command to run them but i want to be able to do it without explorer.exe running and when i use the shell command w/o explorer open, it obviously opens explorer and then the program. Does anyone know a code that would run exe files w/o explorer open?

Typing is hard.
