These lines of code:

Imports System.Diagnostics.Process
Start("subst I: D:\FakeFolder1")

Will start the DOS command subst, but the problem is the DOS window will
popup temporarily. This looks unprofessional in my application, and I was
wondering how I could stil run the command without the DOS window.

redirect standard in/out/error ...

example:

Sub Main()
Const Path = "C:\WINNT\System32\ftp.exe"

Const Args = "hostname"

Dim P As New Process

Dim strOut As String

P.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = False

P.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = True

P.Start(Path, Args)

strOut = P.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd()

Debug.Write(strOut)

P.WaitForExit()

P.Close()

End Sub

In Greg Young's post, would the variable strOut be the output from the
command (In that case, FTP.exe?)

yes it would be although for a "real" situation you would most likely want
to use threads to actively read/write the other program.
