Create a new module named StartupModule and give it a Function Main similar to the following code. This function takes as a parameter an array or strings containing the arguments. It loops through the strings adding them to a ListBox on the main form.

Module StartupModule
Public Function Main(ByVal CmdArgs() As String) As _
Integer
Dim frm As New Form1()
Dim i As Integer
frm.Text = UBound(CmdArgs) + 1 & " arguments"
For i = 0 To UBound(CmdArgs)
frm.lstCommands.Items.Add(CmdArgs(i))
Next i
frm.ShowDialog()
Return 0
End Function
End Module
