    Use a forward slash as your switch identifer. This is the more common
    method. Then in your other program that is receiving the
    parameters, use the "Command" function to read in the
    command-line switches that have been passed, split on the / in
    the Form_Load event.

    VB Code:
    1. Shell "c:\myExecutable.exe /Parameter1 /Parameter2"
