How would I make a program to run "C:\Program Files\AIM95\aim.exe" and then have the program act like I just pressed F-12 in AIM?

Learning a programming language would be a great start.
edit: On a less sarcastic note, the system() function cane be used to execute system calls. For example system(aim.exe) would execute AIM. system() is usualy discouraged because it is not portable, but it sounds like that doesn't matter in this case, if you already know that AIM is on the machine. And I'm not sure what behavior is typical of pressing F-12 on AIM.

I know some c++. However, I have no knowledge of anything outside of console apps. I'm pretty sure this would qualify as outside of console apps.
First of all - it appears I added the edit to my post after yours was made so perhaps you didn't see it - that'll answer your first question.
In any case, to get into Windows Programming, you'll want to finish learning C++ (as you'll have to be very familiar with OOP), and then download and learn a Windows API, like MFC or OWL or something.
