    system()

    Guys, im trying to run a .txt file from my program. I chose to use system() to do it but whenever i ran it, a Dos console C:/windows/system32/cmd.exe came out together with the .txt file, is it possible to remove it ? or do anybody have a better alternative to running the .txt file only without any other alien stuffs accompanying it ?

    system() without a DOS box popping out
    Code:
    ShellExecute(NULL, "open", "textfile.txt",   NULL,  NULL,  SW_SHOW);
