[Solved] opening Internet Explorer using c programming language

Question

I guess you have specified the path to Internet Explorer like this

"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe"

But because the \ character is an “escape” character in a literal string, you need to defeat the escape

"C:\\Program Files\\Internet Explorer\\iexplore.exe"

There was no error when you compiled because the compiler cannot check whether the command passed to system() will be meaningful, or valid at runtime.
