If you are looking at executables; check out the help on Shell

Runs an executable program and returns a Variant (Double) representing the
program's task ID if successful, otherwise it returns zero.

Syntax
Shell(pathname[,windowstyle])

' Specifying 1 as the second argument opens the application in
' normal size and gives it the focus.
Dim RetVal
RetVal = Shell("C:\WINDOWS\CALC.EXE", 1) ' Run Calculator.
