I have look at the code reference, and this is my code:

HWND hWnd ;
int Rtval = ShellExecute(hWnd, "Open", "notepad.exe", NULL, NULL, 0);

I always get error during compile:
error C2440: 'initializing' : cannot convert from 'struct HINSTANCE__ *' to
'int'

can anyone help me this? i'm new in this...

thanks!
