Shell commands and other executables

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Hey all,

How exactly would one execute a Windows shell command from a C/C++ program (compiled in Visual C++.Net)? Examples would be internal commands like:

copy *.* some\other\directory

or other executables and batch files, like:

java.exe somestuff.jar

Thanks.

Dave
