Hi Miguel,

ShellExecute doesn't return the value that GetExitCodeProcess needs. It returns the instance handle, not the process handle, which is what's required. If you were to start the process with CreateThread() I think (but am not 100% sure) that you'll get the value you need.

If you're just trying to shut down another application, look at my FAQ on the subject. It show's how to close another windows program.

hth,
