Hi Sir,
Try the following code:
CString strFile;
strFile = "c:\\temp\\readme.txt";

ShellExecute(NULL,
"open",
strFile,
NULL,NULL,
SW_SHOW);

Try using:

ShellExecute(NULL, "open", "NOTEPAD","MYTEXT.TXT", NULL, SW_SHOW);

Where 'MYTEXT.TXT" is agument to notepad. You may need to pass full path of the file.
