i want to know is there any function or system call which is generalized and can run any file given as a parameter.i have tried WinExec("c:/one.exe",SW_SHOW) . This system call works perfect for executable files but when i try to give a zip file as its first parameter it doesn't execute it.Is there any system call which is generalized one and can run any file .

It is the same as the 'Open' item on the menu if you right click on a file, it uses the default action on that file type. I have used this on Word documents and Excel spreadsheets. Elaine :rose: The tigress is here :-D

You may not have VS, but you have the Internet[^]. ShellExecute performs verbs on an object. This can be "open" (verb) abc.zip (object), or "print" zorro.doc - anything that is registered within the local system. Your application need not even know what the application is; and it will automatically use the user's default application. For instance, "edit" readme.txt will laucnh that file in the user's preferred editor for txt file.

www.msdn.microsoft.com/visualcthere, search forShellExecute()[^]... not so hard to do by yourself isn't it ? :->
