Opening a Run.js routine

I've tried to find a simple solution, but can't get it to work.

To write a script to run a simple routine, a traceroute, /whois, etc.
Say a simple traceroute from run... would be
cmd /k cd\ | tracert google.com

A simple Runbox command
(new ActiveXObject("Shell.Application")).FileRun() yields a run... popup,
but I just wanted to create a shortcut to run the traceroute.

Sorry for the off topic.

How about just "tracert google.com"?
There is no need for an extra command processor,
and the CD command defies the purpose of tracert.exe.
