starting processes using wmic

[niskin]

Hi I'm trying to use wmic (the WMI command-line) to start notepad.exe.

I know that I need to type "cscript //nologo CreateProcess.v bs TestPC %windir%\system 32\notepad.exe %temp%" into command prompt, but I'm stuck on what to put in the script file. I have an outline of what to put from a site:

Dim sComputer		.
Dim sCmdLine		C:\Windows\notepad.exe
Dim sCurDir		C:\Windows\notepad.exe
Dim oProcess		'object representing the Win32_Process class
Dim oMethod		'object representing the Create method

Dim oInPar		'object representing input parameters of the method
Dim oOutPar		'object representing output parameters of the method

sComputer 		= WScript.Arguments(0)
sCmdLine 		= WScript.Arguments(1)
sCurDir 		= WScript.Arguments(2)

Set oProcess 		= GetObject("winmgmts://" & sComputer & _
			  "/root/cimv2:Win32_Process")
Set oMethod 		= oProcess.Methods_("Create")
Set oInPar 		= oMethod.inParameters.SpawnInstance_()
oInPar.CommandLine 	= sCmdLine
oInPar.CurrentDirectory = sCurDir
Set oOutPar 		= oProcess.ExecMethod_("Create", oInPar)

If oOutPar.ReturnValue 	= 0 Then
	WScript.Echo "Create process method completed successfully"
	WScript.Echo "New Process ID is " & oOutPar.ProcessId
Else
	WScript.Echo "Create process method failed"
End If

I have filled out the bits I think I know.

Firstly, is this correct? And secondly, what should I be putting where to start notepad.exe?

Don't worry I found out how from microsoft.com.

Sorry, buddy. I never saw your post. No hard feelings, I hope.

I learnt more by finding out myself in the end so it's all good.
