Something I only found out about recently: There's a better alternative than using "cmd start...". One should use the following method:

[System.Runtime.InteropServices.DllImport("shell32. dll")]
private static extern long ShellExecute(Int32 hWnd, string lpOperation,
string lpFile, string lpParameters, string lpDirectory, long nShowCmd);

This method is used according to what's written here[^]. If it helps, there's a guy who gave a good example of the usage (although it's written in C) in here[^].
