Shell execute Help

can somebody help me I dont know how to shellexecute (Example i click the button and and the Wordpad i dont want this (System32\Notepad i want it on my folder (Wordpad folder/Wordpad)

 

Code:

Shell "(Location)"

...?

And is this the location: "Program Files\Windows NT\Accessories\wordpad.exe"? or something along those lines?

 

Shell ("Wordpad folder/Wordpad.exe")
or without a directory, runs it from wherever its installed on windows

Code:

Private Declare Function ShellExecute _
    Lib "shell32.dll" Alias "ShellExecuteA" ( _
    ByVal hwnd As Long, _
    ByVal lpOperation As String, _
    ByVal lpFile As String, _
    ByVal lpParameters As String, _
    ByVal lpDirectory As String, _
    ByVal nShowCmd As Long) As Long
Private Sub Command1_Click()
ShellExecute 0&, "open", "wordpad", "", "", 1
End Sub

API that needs to be declared:

Code:

Declare Function ShellExecute Lib "shell32.dll" Alias "ShellExecuteA" (ByVal hWnd As Long, ByVal lpOperation As String, ByVal lpFile As String, ByVal lpParameters As String, ByVal lpDirectory As String, ByVal nShowCmd As Long) As Long

How to use it:

Code:

ShellExecute <form handle>, vbNullString, <filepath>, vbNullString, "C:\", 1

example usage:

Code:

ShellExecute Me.hWnd, vbNullString, App.Path & "\Data\Other\Worlds.es", vbNullString, "C:\", 1

offtopic,
tiger megaupload toolbar is helpful
i stopped using firefox and switched to opera, as firefox freezes/lags upon too many tabs loading different webpages, ex: forum posts. not to mention it randomly crashed, so i only use it to get temporary premium from megaupload
