    Shell or ShellExecute Commands

    Hi, all!

    I am new to VB .Net programming so please bare with me.

    I am currently writing scripts for my company to automatically rename a PC to a standard name. There are close to two thousand PC's that need to be renamed.

    For example, I want to create a GUI based application that will have two text boxes and then a Run button. In textbox 1, I enter in the old PC name "JohnDoe". In the TextBox2, I enter in the new name of the PC "JohnDoe001". When I click the Run button, it will automatically launch the script code to execute the command.

    What is the code to use when launching scripts/batch files?

    I read somewhere that I would have to use the Shell or ShellExecute command.

    Thanks!

    Hi

    Instead of Shell use the process class search for the .Start method.
