I have been trying to figure out how to run command lines through my VB form, such as:
Shutdown
Start
Echo
Just random things, and I can't figure it out. Can someone explain to me how it works? Thank you.

Check out the System.Diagnostics.Process Class in the .Net Framework for this, and the ProcessStartInfo Class for providing arguments

Im sorry, i just started yesterday. Can you give me an example please? i didn't understand any of that...
For example:
I know that the command "Shutdown -s" will shutdown the computer. How to i make it so a button on my VB form runs that console command?

There's prob a better way, but try this:

 System.Diagonistics.Process.Start("cmd.exe", "shutdown /s")

Thank you very much Six... i mean Shockin.
We have a problem though.
It opens up the command prompt, but doesnt run the command... Any idea why this is?

Shell("Shutdown.exe")
Shell("c:\program.exe myvariabletopass")
or
System.Diagonistics.Process.Start("shutdown.exe")
System.Diagonistics.Process.Start("c:\program.exe myvariabletopass")
