If you are running an executable directly, then you should use
CreateProcess() instead.  ShellExecute() is good for running things when you
don't know the actual executable to run.

    AnsiString params = "/M /Z c:\\temp\\test.bmp";

Wrap the filename in extra quotation marks:

    AnsiString params = "/M /Z \"c:\\temp\\this is a test.bmp\"";
