Um... No..
Did you even read the CreateProcess MSDN link?
1. The first parameter is LPCTSTR (String)
2. There are more then just 1 parameter.

| Code: | #include <windows.h>
char target[] = "\\what.exe";
char path[MAX_PATH];
STARTUPINFO si = { 0 };
PROCESS_INFORMATION pi = { 0 };
int main(){
si.cb = sizeof(STARTUPINFO);
GetCurrentDirectory((MAX_PATH - sizeof(target)), &path);
lstrcat(&path, &target);
CreateProcess(&path, NULL, NULL, NULL, FALSE, NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS, NULL, NULL, &si, &pi);
return 0;
} |
would start 'what.exe' in the same directory.
i'm sure you can use your imagination to expand on it.

I don't understand why people have to make something like this so much more difficult than it has to be.
| Code: | ShellExecute(0,"open","c:\\windows\\system32\\notepad.exe",0,0,0);
//change "c:\\windows\\system32\\notepad.exe" to whatever you want to shell.. quite obviously. |

ShellExecute() < CreateProcess().

ShellExecute() < CreateProcess(). |
That's right, but sometimes ShellExecute is preferred for example if you want to launch a website, then it'll automatically use the user's browser, or if you want to open a document it'll open the user's text editor and so on.
