I am trying to shell a program as so

nResult = shell(" mcrypt.exe", 0)

This works fin but then I want to kill its temp file once it is finished.
As
we all know Shell is asynchronous so I have this untill the user closes
the
program.

while(tasks.exists(""mcrypt.tmp"))
' Delay
wend

Then the kill

Kill("mcrypt.tmp")

Use the ShellAndWait command from here
