You want ShellExecute - see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb762153%28VS.85%29.aspx for the API and also this link http://delphi.about.com/od/windowsshellapi/a/executeprogram.htm for details of how to use it from Delphi.

I tried but it gives compilation error: Undeclared identifier

If it doesn't compile, edit your question to include the code that doesn't compile.

@Azad Salahli, add `ShellApi` in the `uses`.

It worked. Thanks for your help.
