I tried ShellExecute, but I get the same result. The new EXE starts behind the application.
Any way for the new EXE to force itself to be in focus ? I used to use this code in the main forms Init method: Declare integer SetForegroundWindow in User32.dll Integer SetForegroundWindow(this.HWnd) But this is not working, maybe because I am on W7/64 computer ?
