If you want the program to run in normal mode (not minimized) then you need to specify 1 for the last argument.

Shell "c:\myprogram.exe", 1

Of all people I didn't expect you to use a hard-coded constant.

Shell "c:\myprogram.exe", vbNormalFocus

Whilst were pontificating, lets' list them all

vbHide
vbMaximizedFocus
vbMinimizedFocus
vbMinimizedNoFocus
vbNormalFocus
vbNormalNoFocus

When the number is small (e.g: 1, -1, 3 etc.) I'll use it, otherwise, I'd rather use a constant than &H4AA4.
