GetModuleFileName Function (Windows)

char filePath[256] = "";
int len = GetModuleFileName(NULL, filePath, 256);
strcat(filePath, "trololol.exe");

Don't remember if it adds a slash behind the path by default, so you might need to use "\\trololol.exe"

Well why don't you learn the basics first. Try wrapping it in int main()

Using the shell is usually a bad idea.

Using CreateProcess API
CreateProcess Function (Windows)
