::ShellExecute(NULL,NULL,_T("Test.txt"),NULL,_T("C:\\MyProjects"),SW_SHOW); From above The system will run Test.txt in C:\MyProject. Normally it use Notepad. If I want to use Microsoft Word or Excel to run this file. How to write the code?

You can still use ShellExecute(), but you'll need to explicitly indicate that word.exe or excel.exe is to be used.
