calling external program

How do i call out an external program(e.g. abc.exe) while hiding my current
window form.

when i exit this external program, how do i re-show my window form?

I use the next code that I hope that helps:

Dim proc As Process = Process.Start("calc")
Me.Hide()
proc.WaitForExit()
proc.Dispose()
Me.Show()
Best regards,
