    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?

          Err, I think you skipped the word Windows in the post. Read what you quoted once again ;)

                                    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' ?

                                      hee :) It's from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. When the knights are trying to storm the French castle, one of the guys gives the order "fetchez la vache!", and then a cow comes flying over the castle wall at the knights.

                                        Thanks VuNic ! Cool pour le francais ! So I simply used std::vector <fstream> vStreams. and a loop with vStreams.push_back(fstream()); to initialize all of them.
