after the call, if you don't need the handles for anything you should do this...


        // be nice and give NT back it's resources
        CloseHandle(PI.hProcess);
        CloseHandle(PI.hThread);

Thanks Mike, just one little problem,
when I write a full psth for application:
"S:\Version1\TempControl\Debug\TempControl.exe"

the compiler doesn't like "\"

Thanks anyway

Yulia ,try \\ ,\ is escape directive in C++
"S:\\Version1\\TempControl\\Debug\\TempControl.exe"

Wyn's right,

you need double slashes in C/C++ because
as he says '\' is an escape character.
