Vox Commando and windows shell commands

[Tripper]

I am new to Vox commando and i have done some searching but i cant find a way to use windows shell commands in Vox can someone please help me.
I am trying to give Vox a command such as Open Control panel and have the action be something like  Launch.openfile or Launch.RawParam - ::{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002b30309d}.
but i can figure out a way to make it work.

Hi Tripper.  How would you normally do this from the command line?

[Tripper]

well for instance using rainmeter the commands are used with button clicks in the .ini file .... such as
ButtonRight1="Control Panel"
ButtonRight1Path=::{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002b30309d}
or using it in Mega vioce command they have it as the action in their shell commands section.
yes i know im not to bright in the programing part of this.

Or this might be a better example of what a rainmeter command would be
LeftMouseDownAction= !Execute ["::{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002b30309d}"]

Well, I'm not too familiar with this stuff but these might help.  There might be a better way but at the moment I don't know of one.

This uses another method.  I'm not sure if it covers the same stuff or not.  More info about the params you can try is here:
