How to execute shellExecute() method in Mozilla?

I am using Firefox/3.6. The above code is not getting invoked. I wanna that is there any need to include something in my code to invoke these components. In my browser these XPComponent are available as i checked using XPComViewer.

var localFile = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/filelocal;1"].createInstance(Components.interfaces.nsILocalFile);
localFile.initWithPath("C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe");
var process = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/processutil;1"].createInstance(Components.interfaces.nsIProcess);
process.init(localFile);
var args=null;
process.run(false, args, args.length);
