Oops. Minor error in the function. I've fixed it and also added a timeout:

function Start-Process
{
Param(
[string]$Filename,
[string]$ArgumentString = [System.String]::Empty,
[switch]$Wait,
[int]$Timeout = 0)
$si = New-Object System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo
$si.Filename = $Filename;
if($ArgumentString){$si.Arguments = $ArgumentString};
$ps = [System.Diagnostics.Process]::Start($si);
if($Wait){
if($Timeout -gt 0){$ps.WaitForExit($Timeout*1000)}
else{$ps.WaitForExit();}
}
$ps;
}
