Hi!,

I need to launch, from my program, another application. I tried the
following instruction:

WinExec("C:/vvoce/vvoce.exe", SW_SHOWDEFAULT);

The problem: the external application launched this way does not function
correctly, because the working directory appears to be the directory of my
program, not the directory of the external application. If I run that
application by double clicking its link on my desktop, the application works
correctly. So: is there a way to programmatically emulate a double click on
the icon (link) that launches that application?

Thanks in advance.

Henry
