alternative to system()

I am making a starter program and i need a function call that opens an exe file. I know one can use system() but i was wondering wether there is a function call that opens the exe directly without an MS-DOS window. -CProgrammer

I was thinking more in the way of the app to be called should do this with every file it opens (this applies of course only if you can change the code).
Otherwise try to set the path you get from GetModuleHandle() (sorry, my mistake before) as the 5th parameter of ShellExecute
(which should set the current working directory for the app).
