      When you use of createPRocess it makes a new process and a thread for it and new process has a handle that you can use of it that this handle has PROCESS_ALL_ACCESS access with ShellExecute you can execute any command.

        Documentation isn't (CreateProcess [^], ShellExecute [^]) satisfactory? Roughly speaking the former gives you more control, the latter is more user friendly. :)
