Use the START command:

    system "start c:\rcprison\filepro\ndc\5852104520.jpg"

(You can also "start iexplore.exe ..." to force IE to display the image
if you want.  However, by using only the filename, Windows will use
whatever program you or the user has configured to display images, and
not force the user to use IE.)

This returns control (though not the focus) back to filePro immediately.
