Executing other programs...

[SoulSkorpion]

How can I execute another program (that is, an already existing, compiled .exe) using c++ code? I want to write a program which only allows you to enter another program if you enter the right password, but I'm at a loss how to actually start the other program once the right password has been entered.

Thanks

hi,

try by function

WORD wReturn = WinExec( csCmd, fuCmdShow ) ;

you can also use:
#include <windows.h>
.....
...
ShellExecute (NULL,&quot;open&quot;,&quot;path_to_file&quot;,NULL,NULL,
SW_SHOWNORMAL);

replace path_to_file with your file path.
