There are several ways, my preferred one is:
loWshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
loWshShell.Run('<command> <parameters list>', <window style>, <wait on return flag>)
Where window style can be:
0 Hides the window and activates another window. 
1 Activates and displays a window. If the window is minimized or maximized, the system restores it to its original size and position. An application should specify this flag when displaying the window for the first time. 
2 Activates the window and displays it as a minimized window.  
3 Activates the window and displays it as a maximized window.  
4 Displays a window in its most recent size and position. The active window remains active. 
5 Activates the window and displays it in its current size and position. 
6 Minimizes the specified window and activates the next top-level window in the Z order. 
7 Displays the window as a minimized window. The active window remains active. 
8 Displays the window in its current state. The active window remains active. 
9 Activates and displays the window. If the window is minimized or maximized, the system restores it to its original size and position. An application should specify this flag when restoring a minimized window. 
10 Sets the show-state based on the state of the program that started the application
