DOS style Commands?

This is somewhat of a 2 part question:
First, I want to run a shell command, like
"C:\program files\winamp\winamp.exe /ADD Some.Mp3"
Is there a simple 1 - 2 step to do that?
Also, when I do find first, find next, the list comes up in non-alphabetical order. Can I fix that with out making an array sort func?
Thanx for the help all!

2.

This is an example of how to sort the list:

procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
  Rec: TSearchRec;
begin
  FindFirst('c:\*.*', faAnyFile, Rec);
  repeat
    ListBox1.Items.Add(Rec.Name);
  until FindNext(Rec) <> 0;
  FindClose(Rec);
  ListBox1.Sorted:= True;
end;

You can use TStringList instead of ListBox

Motaz - About to give you more points- Thank you for the help - If you could tho, what are all those params you pass to
ShellExecute(0, 'open', 'C:\program files\winamp\winamp.exe', 'exe /ADD Some.Mp3', nil, sw_Normal);
