Hi All

Don't use shell on windows if you don't administer the computer your using it on. It is standard practice for system admins (particularly in an education setting) to block the cmd prompt. That locks up your app!

So use the open process commands instead. 

See: http://goulding.ws/2010/10/15/command-prompt-blocking-policies-and-the-shell-function/

Cheers
