Hi,
  Sorry no code, been looking for some type of code to open and run other programs on win 7.
I made a very nice control program that does what ever I till it to do. One of the things I want
it to do is run exe programs. Is their a way to open and run, let say MS paint.
Thank you

Use subprocess.
Open Ms paint.

C:\1
λ ptpython
>>> import subprocess

>>> subprocess.run(['mspaint.exe'])

Open a image in folder C:\1 with mspaint.

C:\1
λ ptpython
>>> import subprocess

>>> subprocess.run(['mspaint', 'C:/1/wx16.jpg'])
CompletedProcess(args=['mspaint', 'C:/1/wx16.jpg'], returncode=0)

Hey, snippsat that works very well Thank you very much .
