Visual Basic 2010 - Simple but weird problem!

[Dr0x]

So I made a program to clear my dns cache and renew my ip. When I run the program in debugging mode, it works fine, but when I use the .exe on my desktop, it starts opening a ton of command prompts and opens random windows. Any help would be awesome!

Source Code:

Public Class Form1

    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

        If CheckBox1.Checked = True Then
            Shell("cmd.exe", AppWinStyle.MinimizedFocus)
            SendKeys.SendWait("ipconfig /release {ENTER}")
            SendKeys.SendWait("ipconfig /flushdns {ENTER}")
            SendKeys.SendWait("ipconfig /renew {ENTER}")
            SendKeys.SendWait("exit {ENTER}")
            Label1.Text = ("STATUS: NEW IP AND DNS CACHE")
            Label1.ForeColor = Color.Green

            If Label1.Text = "STATUS: NEW IP AND DNS CACHE" Then
                Button1.Text = "Done! Exit."
                Button4.Show()
                Button1.Hide()

            End If
        End If

    End Sub

    Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
        AboutBox1.Show()
    End Sub

    Private Sub Button4_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button4.Click
        Me.Close()
    End Sub
End Class

I tried using SendKeys.Send also, and it did the same thing. I also tried sending all the text in one SendKey function, that also did not work. Same thing all the time!

Yes, I have.

you should be able to just run the shell (cmd.exe ipconfig /renew) etc... sendkeys is really sketchy...

if you insist on sendkeys, make sure the cmd has focus... then send the keys.
