A programming puzzle

I'd like to share a programming puzzle that I've encountered recently. The requirement was interesting and I was thinking over it. Finally, I got a way to deal with these non-conventional requirements. The requirement is something like below: 1. I need a program, which will launch another program from the command line (I mean Windows command line). I know this is not a big deal.

Still in a learning process, not better than a mediocre student

Met people with different dimension, different skill set and lately realized I'm not only the person who wants to excel truly by learning the system more and more. Anyway in few upcomming series, I'll reveal some good approaches which I've learned so far by introspection. Will look more into the digital system and will see how it similar to our daily concepts.
