Amazingly enough its the same in C++ you use shell execute. I am not familar with the pascal langauge but I am guessing the shell execute is a bit more extended then pascal. Yet don't quote me on that anyways this is how you do it. Code: HINSTANCE ShellExecute( HWND hwnd, LPCTSTR lpOperation, LPCTSTR lpFile, LPCTSTR lpParameters, LPCTSTR lpDirectory, INT nShowCmd ); or for exe file execution ShellExecute(NULL,"open","myfile.exe",SW_SHOW); any other questions feel free to ask at my aim name vethax0r - LiquidKnight

or CreateProcess, useful if you want to wait om the process terminating. To iterate is human, to recurse is devine.
