Windows has a command "start" which you can use e.g. via System.Process.proc.

Thank you, Magnus - this is exactly what I was looking for. (By the way, someone should implement something like this for GNOME and KDE, too ;-) )

Well, there is `xdg-open` command, which is not as well-known as it should be. OS X calls the equivalent command "open". I'm not sure what xdg-open does with executable files (Does it really make sense, in a unixy context, to just execute them?) -Isaac
