Launching Paint from different OS
-
Guys, I am writing a program that permits the user to launch paint from within my application if he/she chooses. Since my program must support a wide range of Windows OSs, I am faced with the dilemma that paint is located in different folders in different OSs. My question is, can I use the environment variable %SystemRoot% when specifying the location to launch? For example: C:\\%SystemRoot%\\System32\\mspaint.exe If this isn't the way to do it, any suggestions of a good way to do this?

If mspaint.exe consistently lives in the System32 folder, why bother with specifying the path? In other words, have you encountered a machine where typing mspaint.exe in the Run box did not work?

as David said, i doubt very strongly that mspaint.exe is not in the system path... so just launch
mspaintas you launchnotepad, and you'll be gone

He's become a household word in the Lounge. A whole new phraseology has evolved. Post a link or reply with a smiley and rose, and you've made a "Satipsism". So what? It's an interesting thing about the Internet, the evolution (as in change, not progress) of tone, quality, terminology, etc. -Marc Clifton. Best wishes to Rexx[^

Fetchez ? What's that Michael ? :-D Never heard of this word before (and French is my mother tongue :)). Is it a brutal translation from the english word 'fetch' ?
