I want to use a Visual C++ program to execute, for instance,
"notepad MyNotes.doc".  I would like the effect to be as if
I had manually started the process, so it's in the task bar and the application is still active when my program quits.

Kernel and system programming is the process of creating the software necessary for a computer or device to function and operate other programs. Some operating systems (such as Microsoft Windows) are proprietary, but others, such as the various Linux distributions, are open source.
