Although I don't use VB but rather PowerBasic for windows, maybe this will be of some use (hopefully).

Example:
Assume you have written or have a batch file.
use:

SHELL ENVIRON$("COMSPEC") + " /c " + batfilename$

Probably would work with commands too.

Actually, if your using VB6, I'm pretty sure you could just do Shell("C:\path\to\ping.ext localhost")
