thanks but actually this code is used to run the.exe file and i want to run .cmd file.....

I think it should run the .cmd file too.
See the below link.It says the file name does not need to represent an executable file. It can be of any file type for which the extension has been associated with an application installed on the system.

The process class is used to start any process, regardless of type.
You could use it to run a .DOC file, provided a program is associated with that filename extention (MS Word perhaps)

Hey its not working....

[Plater]

What code are you using to run it?
We've had no trouble doing this, perhaps you are just missing something small?

Please post the relevant code.
