haha well if its a another program u have to first import os and then us chose ur directory and the start the file
this is a realllllly simple example i wrote ages ago bt it should start u off.. u will want to add a try and catch statement to it bt this is the basic

CODE

ya = '666'
password = raw_input("Password: ")

if password == ya: #hi
    print ('good job')
    import os     # this all u need to look at the rest is just from be4
    os.chdir(r'C:\program files\halo')   #
    os.startfile("halo.exe")       #
else:
    print ('try again')
    password = raw_input('password: ')

dont worry bout the other stuff it wa a school project thing tongue.gif
