How to run a batch (*.bat) file from TestComplete (Javascript)

It took me longer than I had hoped to figure this out so wanted to put the answer here in case this benefits anyone else.

    function runBatchFile()
    {
       WshShell.Run("C:\\Temp\\hello.bat")
    }

    Others posted some really good alternative answers as well ...

    Thanks rraghvani for posting the documentation pertaining to this post. For someone like myself, it helped to have the exact code example due to not fully understanding the concepts behind the WshShell command.
