There’s no such thing in standard C++ as
shellexecute. So there is no difference.There’s the Win32 function
ShellExecute, but that’s a Win32 function, not a C++ standard function likesystem.ShellExecutedoes a different thing fromsystem.systemis (more or less) equivalent to entering a command on the command line.ShellExecuteis the equivalent of double clicking a file (or right-clicking and selecting a “verb” from the list).They really have nothing in common at all.
