cmd.exe doesn't pop up with Runtime.getRuntime.exec!

[maya2000]

Hello,

I searched this java newsgroup and tried all suggestions, but still
failed.
I keep watch a task manager, but cmd.exe never running.
All I want to do is run and pop up the cmd.exe using Runtime on
Windows 2000, so I can use it.
I tried all below cases.

String cmd = "C:\WINNT\system32\cmd.exe";
cmd = "cmd.exe";
cmd = "cmd";
cmd = "\"C:\\WINNT\\system32\\cmd.exe\"";
cmd = "C:/WINNT/system32/cmd.exe";

Process proc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd);

None of them pop up the cmd.exe for me.
Any help please?

You might try the following command:

String cmd = "C:\WINNT\system32\cmd.exe /c start";
