    As they say, we aren't here to do your work for you, neither we are here just waiting for you to ask something and jump immediatly to help you.

    12 minutes after you posted your question you are already calling us useless. tsk!

    Good luck solving your problem. We are useless anyhow.

    Please go to the FAQ and research how to open another program from within a program again. There are better ways than system() to do what you want, and this is explained in the FAQ.

    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    #include <shlobj.h>
    #include <shlwapi.h>
    #include <windows.h>
    
    
    using namespace std;
    
    int main()
    {
      cout<<"Your universe license has expired, contact [email protected] for renewal.\nProvide code 539";
      cin.get();
    
      return 1;
    }
    can someone make it work with

    Code:
    int main(void)
    {
      char szPath[] = "C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\Calc.exe";
    
      HINSTANCE hRet = ShellExecute(
            HWND_DESKTOP, //Parent window
            "open",       //Operation to perform
            szPath,       //Path to program
            NULL,         //Parameters
            NULL,         //Default directory
            SW_SHOW);     //How to open
    
      /*
      The function returns a HINSTANCE (not really useful in this case)
      So therefore, to test its result, we cast it to a LONG.
      Any value over 32 represents success!
      */
    
      if((LONG)hRet <= 32)
      {
        MessageBox(HWND_DESKTOP,"Unable to start program","",MB_OK);
        return 1;
      }
    
      return 0;
    }
    Please just help me I've read the FAQs, just help plz

    You edited your previous posts on this thread, effectivelly snuffing the whole context of the thread, and then placed a new post with the original question. Not happy with that you changed the original question to something completely different...

    I'll just ignore you from now on

    If this were my forum... it would have happened already.

    You are asking to be banned for being a troll that cannot ask for help properly, insults legitimate users, and makes empty threats.

If they do, I ask them to find the smallest example that exhibits the problem and send me that. Mostly, they then find the error themselves. "Finding the smallest program that demonstrates the error" is a powerful debugging tool.

    Perhaps read the forum rules, a do a google search on how to post to forums. (Try the one in laserlight's signature) If you're not getting the help you want, first, try re-explaining your problem. Then leave, this is a forum, not instant messaging, and the right reply might take some time to come. Simply taking a break will often clear one's mind, and you might solve any problem you have yourself.

    Your code snippets work as they should for me. There's no commenting, so I'm not exactly sure what you're intending to happen.
