running a program

[Ali Tavakol]

Hello all, how can I run a program? i want to run the Windows's calculator program which i don't know its location. (i only know that it is in program files). also, how can run a non-executable program such as html files (Windows itself to run ie)? a function required.

Windows' calculator program location: %SystemRoot%\System32\calc.exe. You can use 'spawn' to start new processes from your own program code. Er zit een korstje op mijn aars.

ShellExecute does this for you, the HTML file as well. Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++
