Well this is a rather crappy way to do it, but since your going to be running your program from command line anyway, I don't see any reason why not.

Try this:

Code:

system("nameOfExecutable.exe");

That should work.

Code:

<{c=Open the fucking exe.c.=x

Hmmm... yeh this works:

Code:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

main()
{
      char str[50] = "";
      cout<<"Enter name of .exe: ";
      cin >> str;
      system((const char*)str);
      system("pause");
      return 1;
}

But you have to type out the whole dam file location... unless you know some DOS commands. Personally I don't know any, but there u go: Guide to Windows Commands - Wikibooks, collection of open-content textbooks find as many DOS commands till your heart is content...

Code:

<x=copen-the_fuckingexe_xc-r=x>

In Windows you can use something like:
ShellExecute(GetDesktopWindow(), "open", "c:\\myFolder\\myfile.exe", NULL, NULL, SW_SHOWNORMAL);

Cool. I actually wanted to know how to program it in Windows, since that's what I'm into right now

soo i compile that and it should open whatever i put in the file path ?

opening as in launching the exe? or open as in grabbing a handle to the file and overwriting some stuff(patching it) and then saving?

Lol. Im pretty sure hes talking about just opening the file Daemonan

@ Spike: That will work, but make sure you include the <windows.h> header.... unless you already know this, in which case forget I said anything.
