look up _RunDos() or try:

Run(@ComSpec & " /c " & 'PROG.exe', 'C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\SYSTEM USER', @SW_HIDE)

Try double quotes around your path and set a working directory.

$workingDir = @AppDataCommonDir & '\Microsoft\SYSTEM USER'
Run('"' & $workingDir & '\PROG.exe"', $workingDir)

THANKS, worked perfectly, Why?

Sometimes spaces can cause issues with paths so to be 100% sure, consider using Double quotes inside single quotes as I have done.

And without knowing what PROG.exe is, most programs installed on a HDD use the working directory that the executable resides in. Looking at properties of shortcuts that may exist and execute these files can give you idea's of how to run them with working dir...
