Hello,

I am trying to run a program using ShellExecute but I don't know wwhich 
drive the user is going to be using.  I can get that information using 
something like:

 char Drive[4];
 strcpy(Drive, "D:\\");
 AnsiString xxx= "FindMe.txt";
 bool notFound = true;

 while((Drive[0]<='Z')&&(notFound))
 {
  if(GetDriveType(Drive) == DRIVE_CDROM)
   {
    if(FileExists((AnsiString)Drive + xxx))
     notFound = false;
    else
     Drive[0]++;
    }
   else
    Drive[0]++;
  }

on the ShellExecute end of things I would like to be able to put the Drive 
into my execute line something like

ShellExecute(NULL, "open",
    Drive + ".\\myProg.exe",
    "", "" ,
    SW_SHOWDEFAULT);

I am on the right track?

Thanks for any help you cna send me.
