Launching a program from C#

FinallyInSeattle

I need to be able to make a registry change (trust me, I don't like it
either) and then launch an external .EXE from a small C# program. I've
done a Process.Start, but when my program exits the external .EXE is
exited/shutdown as well. What can I used to I start it up and keep it
running even after my program ends?

There is no reason that I know of that the external program should shut down
when your program exits. Perhaps you can give us more information about what
sort of program it's starting.
