There are 2 ways to launch another program from your windows application:

1) WinExec
2) LoadModule

Each of these offers a slightly different approach in how you start up
the application (i.e. paramaters passed to the functions).
Personally, I use the WinExec when I don't have to worry about command
line parameters.
