How do you run a program you don't know where the arguments start?

Question

The subject doesn't say much cause it is not easy to question in one line. I have to execute a few programs which I read from the registry. I have to read from a field where somebody saves the whole paths and arguments.
I've been using System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo setting the name of the program and its arguments but I've found a wide variety of arguments which I have to parse to save the process executable file in one field and its arguments in the other.

Is there a way to just execute the whole string as is?

I have tackled this the same way as the poster above, using cmd.exe with process start info.

Process myProcess = New Process;
myProcess.StartInfo.FileName = "cmd.exe";
myProcess.StartInfo.Arguments = "/C " + cmd;
myProcess.StartInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden;
myProcess.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = True;
myProcess.Start();
myProcess.WaitForExit();
myProcess.Close();

cmd /c carries out the command, and then terminates. WaitForExit will terminate the process if it runs for too long.
