Java Code to open to RUN (windows + R) and execute a command

Question

My scenario is to open RUN window (Windows + R) and execute it programatically using java.

Please provide me the java code for it or suggest me how to proceed with it.

Steps:

why would you use the Run Window to execute a command? Just execute it. — kratenko, Dec 09 '13 at 12:47

sorry if i was not clear with my question. Let me explain it in detail. I am opening a .lrr(Load Runner Results) file. I was asked to open this file via RUN(windows + R) so that we can give input values here itself . But i want to do it programatically using java. — siva, Dec 09 '13 at 13:42

As already mentioned:

Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(
    "\"C:/ProgramFile/Internet Explorer/iexplorer.exe\" your_file.lrr"
);

Also you can add more parameters like this:

Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(
    "\"C:/ProgramFile/Internet Explorer/iexplorer.exe\" your_file.lrr /t /p foo"
);

Probably you have to watch out for the blanks in the path to your executable by adding double quotes (as you can see in my example).
