Answer / mahi

If we want to work on operating system related functions
(like command prompt,windows registry....) then we go
for "Wscript.Shell".Actually this is vbScript class. WE can
not directly use this in qtp. For that one we need to
create one instance firstofall. Using CreateObject we can
create instance as followes.

Set oShell=CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
oSehll.popup "Have a great day"
oShell.Run "cmd /k dir"
oShell.sendkeys "{ENTER}"
set oShell=Nothig

I hope this may useful.
Regard,
