Shell to the computer name (\\computer\drive:\filename.exe) or the mapped drive (Z:\filename.exe), not the IP address.

If your trying to execute a exe located on another system this way all it does it run the remote exe but it will run locally on your system. Also, if your trying to reboot a remote system you may need admin rights to access the remote system/exe.

Dear
i tried with this
Shell(\\computer\drive:\filename.exe) i
and have received the message invalid procedure call.
i want the exe to be run in the Remote System not in the Local.
I want to activate the remote exe and and run there only.

you can do it with winsock, heres pseudocode:

remote server listens on ports 8989
client connects on 8989

client sends request "RUN C:\ein32.exe"
server receives data, sends ACK, parses it
server executes, Shell (FilePath)
server returns true or false to client

something like that would do it, you'll need ur app on the client, and the server though

Ok, since you want iot to be run on the remote system then you will need Admin permissions on it and my code here will do it - http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.php?t=358108
