Hi !!

Well, a very quick and dirty way is to use WinExec !! This function should not be used anymore but works quite well under Windows 9x !! I don''t know about Windows 2000 or Windows NT. However if it''s not that professionell product I would use it, because it''s one line !! If you use CreateProcess you need to fill out some very big complicated structures.

WinExec is a deprecated API function. Under Win32 it can lock up the spawning program under certain circumstances.

Thank you guys !
