    Thumbs down ShellExecute, strange !!

    I dunno why, but today shellexecute works in a strange way..


    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <stdlib.h>
    #include <windows.h>
    
    int main(int argc, char *argv[])
    {
      ShellExecute( NULL, "open", "calc.exe", "", "./", SW_SHOW );
       system("PAUSE");	
      return 0;
    }
    if i execute it, it popups a windows like if i want to save a file...
    have a loot to the atteached file..

    wha'ts going on ?

    Maybe it's the directory param that you are passing?

    try ShellExecute( NULL, "open", "calc.exe", "", NULL, SW_SHOW );
