Well the file is c:\\ ... i wrote C:\ in the newsgroups only.

Can you please give me an example of this code in CreateProcess?
I can't make it work to wait until finish. I already searched newgroups,
i also found a post of you, that uses CreateProcess but it was a
MINIMIZE/RESTORE example...

Any help would be appreciated!

George
