Visual Basic won't enter parentheses?

Ok, I wanted command prompt to change the dir to a specified path:

Code:

Process.Start ("cmd.exe")
My.Computer.Keyboard.SendKeys(cd "C:\Program Files (x86)"

Whne cmd starts, and enters this text, it leaves out the ( and the ) in (x86), why is this?

Are you sure it's not CMD? It may be one of those special characters that has a different meaning. Try adding a Carot "^" in front of it.
