    Running program from windows program?

    How do I execute a program without using
    Code:
    system("notepad");
    ?

    This is really annoying because it brings up a DOS box.

    well you could read the FAQ

    http://www.cprogramming.com/boardfaq.html#execs

    or you could just look up spawn*() in the MSDN or something
