Running a command with Visual Basic

Question

I have seen another question like this one, but I can't get it to work. I would like my visual basic program to run the command prompt, and run the command ipconfig. Right now, I am trying Process.Start("C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd", "ipconfig"), but it only opens the command prompt and doesn't run ipconfig. Any help is appreciated.

This would be a stronger answer if you explain what the /k flag does.

I tried to, but it said that I had to wait a few minutes. I was going to wait, click the check mark, then delete my comment.

@EricJ. the /k flag runs the command requested but leaves the command and window open instead of closing after the command has run.
