There are many functions with which you can do that.

Probably the simplest is WinExec.  An example is:
    WinExec("Notepad.exe", SW_SHOW);

Other functions that also can be used are CreateProcess, ShellExecute, 
system and the exec* set of functions.  WinExec, CreateProcess and 
ShellExecute are documented in the help for Windows and the others are in 
the help for C/C++.
