    <p>The standard way is <code>system</code> -- works pretty much anywhere, but gives you no control over how the child process runs.</p> <p>In ascending order of control (and complexity), Windows provides: <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms687393.aspx" rel="nofollow"><code>WinExec</code></a>, <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb762153.aspx" rel="nofollow"><code>ShellExecute</code></a>, <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb762154.aspx" rel="nofollow"><code>ShellExecuteEx</code></a>, and <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms682425.aspx" rel="nofollow"><code>CreateProcess</code></a>. With CreateProcess you pass a <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms686331.aspx" rel="nofollow"><code>STARTUPINFO</code></a> or <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms686329.aspx" rel="nofollow"><code>STARTUPINFOEX</code></a> structure. Either way, you can specify the starting position and/or size for the child window (though the child process can and may move/resize its window before it's even visible).</p> <p>You might also want to consider <a href="http://www.highscore.de/boost/process/" rel="nofollow"><code>Boost Process</code></a>, which isn't accepted as an official part of Boost, but provides a bit more control than <code>system</code>, while remaining reasonably portable to a fair number of the most widely used systems (including both Windows and anything reasonably POSIX-like, such as Linux or OS X).</p>
