void ISystem::ShellExecute(const char *command, const char *file)

This gives insight on ShellExecute usage. For example, ShellExecute can launch a website or a word document in the client's default viewer.

vgui\ISystem.h must be included in the appropriate file.

void ISystem::ShellExecute(const char *command, const char *file);
vgui::system()->ShellExecute(...);

command can have one of the following values:

  • "open"
  • "print"
  • "explore"
  • "play"
  • "properties"
  • NULL

Look here for more information on each of the commands.
