Hi people.I'm trying to update some piece of code from Win98 to WinXP.
Now I found a problem...
I want to start an html and I used WinExec with this command line
"start c:\myfolder\mywebpage.html"

In W98 worked fine. But in xp not :(

I tryed to replace Winexec function with


SHELLEXECUTEINFO ExecInfo;
memset(&ExecInfo, 0, sizeof( ExecInfo) );
ExecInfo.lpVerb = "open";
ExecInfo.lpFile = "start";
ExecInfo.cbSize = sizeof(ExecInfo);
ExecInfo.lpParameters = htmlfilename.c_str();
ExecInfo.fMask = SEE_MASK_NOCLOSEPROCESS;
ExecInfo.nShow = SW_HIDE;
if(!ShellExecuteEx(&ExecInfo))
	return;
WaitForSingleObject( ExecInfo.hProcess, INFINITE);


Any Idea? :(
tnx inadvance
