calling an exe with arguments

How do I run an exe with arguments added at teh end of it.
Im using this

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("C:\Execute\File_Fixer.exe " & Label9.Text)

with Label9.text having value of "$xps"

In the folder C:\Execute , I have only File_Fixer.exe .

Is there an approach to carry this out?

Thanks, that was an excellent article.
What Im trying to do which I did not see how to implement in the article..

In order to accomplish my objective, I need to append command arguments after the exe such that
File_Fixer.exe $xps
because without the extension , I will not get the desired result.

Maybe you can point out where.

sorry but I don't understand what you want. Can you rephrase it? Which error are you getting with your code?

thanks,

Essentially
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("C:\Execute\File_Fixer.exe", Label9.Text)

is same as

Dim MyProcess As New Process
MyProcess.StartInfo.FileName = "File_Fixer.exe"
MyProcess.StartInfo.WorkingDirectory = "C:\Execute\"
MyProcess.StartInfo.Arguments = Label9.Text
MyProcess.Start()
