A very little help please.....

[Nuubee]

Would anyone here be so kind as to post the code to a simple, command line
C++ application that would take a single string parameter as input (will be
a filename - maybe with full path or just a filename if file resides in same
directory as the launching C++ exe) and launches that file.

The file to be launched may be a WAV or MP3 or WSH script or whatever. The
filename passed in as the sole parameter to the exe may be simply a file's
name (MyFile.???) or may have the full path (C:\Program
Files\MyFileSir\MyFile.???) specified.

The C++ app should run on every Windows OS from Win98 to 2003 and should
compile with Visual Studio 2003 as unmanaged code (so as to not burden the
app unnecessarily with .Net framework stuff).

Can't you use start.exe (it existed since 98 I believe) ?
