use :

* System.Diagnostics.Process
* Process.Start()

you can hide the process too...

You can also use Shell(<address of exe as String>, AppWinStyle.Hide)

You tried Dnx's advice:

p = New Process
p.StartInfo.FileName = "C:\Windows\System32\Notepad.exe"
p.StartInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden
p.Start()

The (Notepad) exe is not visible in the taskbar, if that's what you want. Of course it's still visible in Task Manager. Do you want to hide it in Task Manager too? If you do, may I ask why?
