Opening a file or folder in C++
Hey I have a quick question, how can I open a file and read the contents in c++, but what I really want to do is just ask windows to do it from a c++ program. Like make a call and have a folder open (like if you had just dbl clicked your "My Computer" folder on your desktop), or have your program have windows open up your word doc, in micr$oft word. Any help would be great, thanks-

jhance that is what i was looking for thanks, I have another quick question though, when I compile in my command promt in java I can type in set path=%path%;c:\j2sdk1.4.0_ 01\bin and in so it will know where my compiler is in that way I can use my windows command promt more like a linux machine. When I compile i just type in javac -classpath ... then file.java , when trying to do the same with the borland c++ compiler, it has trouble finding my libraries. In the question above forinstance it was unable to find the windows.h can you help me out? thank,

I'm not familiar with Borland C++ but I suspect that it uses either an ENV variable or a command line option to locate the INCLUDE file directory. Check the docs....
#include <stdlib.h>
void main()
{
system("dir");
}
