ofstream a_file("example.bat", ios::trunc );
a_file<<s;
a_file.close();
HINSTANCE heh;
heh = ShellExecute(NULL, "open", "C:\\bc45\bin", "",
"c:\\bc45\bin\example.bat", SW_SHOW);

You've got the file and directory parameters mixed up, try-

heh = ShellExecute(NULL, "open", "example.bat", "",
"C:\\bc45\\bin", SW_SHOW);
