I mean, is there any API or Function to do it?

Appreciate...

#include <shellapi.h>

int main(void)
{
ShellExecute(0,0,"calc.exe",0,0,SW_SHOWNORMAL);
}


There's also a "ShellExecuteEx" function you might want to take a look at.

That's the last platform-specific question I'll answer here -- direct
further questions to a Microsoft programming newsgroups, or send me an e-
mail and I'll help you out with any little problems.

Look up your compiler's documentation for the std::system() function
declared in <cstdlib>. That is the one and only possibility provided
by the C++ language. If you are interested in non-standard, platform
specific extensions, ask in a group that supports your specific
platform.
