    Launch a program in VBS

    In VB, if you want to launch a program you can do:

    Code:
    Shell "C:\windows\app.exe"
    is there an equivalent of this in VBS, or do I have to use that silly WScript.Shell thingy? I don't get it!

    In vbs, this is the equivalent:

    Code:
    Dim WshShell

Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Return = WshShell.Run("notepad.exe", 1)
