title: How to use ShellExecute to open html files in Windows using C++?
body: <p>I'm trying to open some html file with the default browser from my code.</p>
  
  <p>I use the following code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>ShellExecute(NULL, "open", "HELP\index.html",
              NULL, NULL, SW_SHOWNORMAL);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And include header "Windows.h". But ShellExecuter:identifier not found error comes up and compilation fails.</p>
  
  <p>I use Microsoft Visual Studio 2010. How can I make ShellExecute work, or more to the point, how can I open a html file from my code?</p>
