    to run an alternate .exe: shell strPathToOtherExe, vbFocusSettingEnumeration for example: shell "c:\myproggy.exe", vbNormalFocus that's like.. the 'easy' way.. (if you want to conceal your 'other' .exe from your users, you could name your other program with another extention and rename it right before running it). the other way would be to embed your alternate .exe into the 'main' one and 'extract' it upon execution. that one's harder...
