You write the complete command to a .bat file, and use shell("batfile.bat")
i have explored this option but how do i pass along the directory the user entered in the text box?Quote:

You concatenate your command of choice with everything in the textbox.Quote:

Of course there is no point using shell at all if the goal is to change the directory as this can easily be done within the program.
