    Run EXE server side

    I'm pretty new to this side of coding. Well say i want to run an EXE via ASP server side well that fine.

    VB Code:
    1. <%
    2. Dim WshShell
    3.  
    4. set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
    5.  
    6. WshShell.Run "C:\WINDOWS\Desktop\file.exe"
    7. set WshShell= nothing
    8. %>

    This will call the EXE thats from an asp page on my web server, win 98 (PWS).

    So does the client thats viewing this page see the full functionality of the EXE on their desktop or in their browser or how exactly does it work?

    The client never notices that the exe is running on the server.
