Hi, the most simple way is

Shell "C:\Windows\Notepad.exe", vbNormalFocus

Function Shell executes inserted command in the same way like when you wrote that command to command bar (Start/Run... or anywhere)
To start process and wait for it's end is little more difficult but still possible..

i've seen an application like i explained, it used a file *.ini
when i wrote the location, for example :
n1=learning komputer;windows\notepad.exe;
n2=...
then it shows in the list of the menu.exe and we can double click it.
Then i think can i make this in VB?

Of course..
Create ListBox on form and name it myList.
Create AppzList.ini like this:

[Appz]
a1=calc;calc.exe
a2=word;C:\Program Files\Office 2k\Office\WinWord.exe
a3=...

'Api
Private Declare Function GetPrivateProfileString Lib "kernel32" Alias "GetPrivateProfileStringA" (ByVal lpApplicationName As String, ByVal lpKeyName As Any, ByVal lpDefault As String, ByVal lpReturnedString As String, ByVal nSize As Long, ByVal lpFileName As String) As Long


Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim strItem As String, strName As String
  On Error GoTo fExitDo
  Do                        'Let's get all items from INI file
    i = i + 1
    strName = "a" & i
    strItem = Space(255)
    GetPrivateProfileString "Appz", strName, vbNullString, strItem, 255, "AppzList.ini"
    'Add item to myList
    If strItem <> vbNullString Then myList.AddItem (Left(strItem, InStr(1, strItem, Chr(0)) - 1))
  Loop
fExitDo:
End Sub

Private Sub myList_DblClick()
Dim myPath As String    'On double click 
    myPath = myList.List(myList.ListIndex)          'Get selected item
    myPath = Mid(myPath, InStr(1, myPath, ";") + 1) 'Separate path
    Shell myPath, vbNormalFocus                     'GoGoGo!!!
End Sub

And that's all! If you want to nicer myList, you'll have to play with it..
