Hell again ASM community,

I have searched the forums for a very long time, and seen many examples on how to use the ShellExecute command, but I don't know why my code doesn't work!

Here is the important code:

.data
cmd db "cmd.exe /k",0

DlgProc proc hWnd:HWND, uMsg:UINT, wParam:WPARAM, lParam: LPARAM
	.if uMsg== WM_INITDIALOG
		invoke LoadIcon,hInstance,barcode
		invoke GetDlgItem,hWnd,1002
		invoke SetFocus,eax
	.elseif uMsg==WM_COMMAND
		mov eax,wParam
		.if eax == 1003
		invoke GetDlgItemText,hWnd,1002,addr directory,256
		invoke ShellExecute,NULL,NULL,addr cmd,NULL,addr directory,SW_SHOWNORMAL
		invoke SetDlgItemText,hWnd,1004,addr newdir
		.endif
	.elseif uMsg==WM_CLOSE
		invoke EndDialog,hWnd,0
	.endif
	xor eax, eax
	Ret
DlgProc EndP

No matter what I cannot get cmd to execute! I tried it as the lpOperation as well with no luck. All the examples I have found are using the same syntax! Why isn't mine working? Can anyone tell me.

Thanks in advance.
