Have you tried:
ShellExecute(this->m_hWnd, _T("open"), "hh.exe", _T("HelpSample.chm::/page1.html"), NULL, SW_SHOW);

I'm not sure if ShellExecute() "open" will do that for you like that. You could try something like
CreateProcess("hh.exe", " drive:\\path\\HelpSample.chm::/page1.html", ...);
*edit* or try David's method above :)

If this is a help (chm) file you have created yourself, you can open any page by using the topic ID stored for that page, using function HtmlHelp().

This will work, ::HtmlHelp(NULL, _T("HelpSample.chm::/html/page1.html"), HH_DISPLAY_TOPIC, 0);
