    if it's not executing, how can it return 32 ? maybe you just don't see the windows because of the SW_HIDE. what if you display it with SW_SHOWNORMAL ? also, how do you check the return code ?

              and so, the message doesn't talk to you ? What it means is perfectly clear to me. maybe you should read it again ;) You could use Process Explorer[^] and close the handles of the applications using this file...

                      Hi all, How can I execute .bat file using vc++. I am trying to execute it by using ShellExecute() function but it is not executing. ShellExecute(NULL,_T("Open"),"_T("D:\\myBat.bat"),NULL,NULL,SW_HIDE); It is returning less than 32, but if it is successfully executed it should return greater than 32. Please provide me the solution. Thanks.
