How to open another program

[MrDoomMaster]

I need a way to specify a path to a *.exe file and tell windows to execute that program.

Try to Use ShellExecute or ShellExecuteEx or WinExec functions to execute another application from ur code.

What you mean by specifying a path to a*.exe? For launching the application, as already mentioned, you can use ShellExecute or CreateProcess. For details, have a look at Processes: How can I start a process? (http://www.codeguru.com/forum/showthread.php?t=302501)

Furthermore, note that WinExec() is provided only for compatibility with 16-bit Windows and should not be used any longer.

Thanks guys, I found out about CreateProcess and I used that. It works perfectly.
