This is my first tutorial so dont get upset if its no good, just post a coment and ill fix it.
hm. This is the very basic side of shellapi. And the explaination is quite vague, but I wont poke at it. But an explanation of the different options, such as param #2: Open, Print etc and SW_SHOWNORMAL and be interpreted to SW_SHOW, or even SW_HIDE so the executed app will not be shown.

You forgot to mention that "uses ShellAPI" is required. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
the author did mention that uses ShellAPI is required, if you read the tutorial carefully first, and start bashing later, you might find that it works fine i tried ShellExecute(0,'open','ftp','somehost.com','',SW_SHOWNORMAL); and it worked perfectly
the explanation could be elaborated, yes, but those who seek, will find what they need (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
