Remarks

The Process class provides the means for interacting with the operating system processes. Once a System.Diagnostics.Process object has been created, it can be used to access information about the process, as well as interacting with it.

During process launching, if the ShellExecute attribute is set to true, then files and documents that have a mime-type associated will be launched, with the operating system specific mechanism to open these files.

Operating Environment	Command used to start process
