Better Option to do this

Do this Via Powershell Commands.. Create a powershell project and Create a new Custom Commandlet (Cmdlet) and do this actions simply there....google it "Powershell Cmdlet"

You need to set the Arguements property. E.g. to open CMD and start IPCONFIG:

        ProcessStartInfo startInfo = new ProcessStartInfo();
        startInfo.FileName = @"C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe";
        startInfo.Arguments = "/k ipconfig";
        Process myProcess = new Process();
        myProcess.StartInfo = startInfo;
        myProcess.Start();
