Re: ShellExecute

Yes it's about Media Player Classic.
I've got two applications that run in fullscreen.
When one of the two applications starts the other one is already running in
full screen mode.
So the new opened application shows up in the foreground. Problem is that
when it starts, for a split second
you see the application not fullscreen and after a second it switches to
fullscreen. I want the applications to
switch without any 'mess' in between. So I thought, let the newly executed
program switch to fullscreen in the
background and then show up in the foreground.
