Say I want to create a launch program - how would I tell it to, upon clicking a button, execute a .bat file?

That's great for absolute paths, but it gets a bit trickier when you want to use the current working directory.

I know in VB6, there was a string App.Path that you could use to get the current working directory. I'm not sure about VB.net.
