Is using ShellExecute() the best/only way to launch an application through C++?

Example of how I'm using it :

ShellExecute( NULL, NULL, "/OperaUSB1050/opera.exe", NULL, NULL, SW_SHOW );

I can show an entire project example if needed...

CreateProcess.

There are actually quite a number of different ways to launch other programs from within a C++ program.

Since you seem to be on windows then ShellExecute, ShellExecuteEx, CreateProcess.

There is also the old platform independent standby: system()

There are probably 2 or 3 other ways but that is what is typical in windows.

I like that CreateProcess one, I may use that instead of ShellExecute. Thanks guys!
