[2 Tutorials] -- Launching stuff

[Fragment]

Navigating the user's default browser to a website
Here is a code, that you can put in a button, or anything you want, and it will navigate the user's default web browser to the website you put in there.
Here is the code:

AnsiString a = "open";
AnsiString b = "http://www.dxth4x.com/";
AnsiString c = " ";
ShellExecute(0, a.c_str(), b.c_str(), c.c_str(),c.c_str(),SW_MAXIMIZE);

Short, sweet and simple. It's good for making credits, that way, if you release a hack, all the lechers will know that it came from our website.

Launching an executable
In this tutorial, I will be explaining how you can make windows execute a program, given the directory.

I am using warrock as an example.



STARTUPINFO si;
PROCESS_INFORMATION pi;
ZeroMemory( &si, sizeof(si) );
si.cb = sizeof(si);
ZeroMemory( &pi, sizeof(pi) );
CreateProcess(NULL,
"C:\\Program Files\\WarRock\\WRLauncher.exe", /*The file path*/
/*Also, remember that in C++, a '\' can only be represented by '\\'*/
NULL,
NULL,
false,
0,
NULL,
"C:\\Program Files\\WarRock", /*The containing folder*/
&si,
&pi);
Now, your hack can have a button that says LAUNCH WARROCK.
With warrock, this is easy, since all copies of the game install to the same directory.

You are making it too complex. You can just use this


void OpenPlace( char* place )
{
ShellExecute(0, "open", place, 0, 0, 0);
}
Usage

OpenPlace("http:\google.com");
OpenPlace("C:Program FilesWarrocksystemwarrock.exe 0 0");

WOW!
Dang. I always just muscle thru everything without even looking for an easier way out. Thanks for posting that.

One of my friends told me "Don't look for a backdoor without checking the front door." I try to live by that. At least online.
