You can use:
Process.Start("c:\whateveruwanttorun.exe")
or
Shell("c:\whateveruwanttorun.exe) (don't know exactly of this one will work)
you can also put all the exe's from a directory in a listbox:
Dim exeArray As String() = FileIO.FileSystem.GetFiles(Application.StartupPath, 2, "*.exe").ToArray
ListBox1.Items.AddRange(exeArray)
and then run them for example from there by clicking on them.

Yeah, LearningVB has it correct.
And is that how you use arrays? Wow... That could be helpful!
