I have had this API function working for months without any problems. After XP SP2, the error it returns is 5. Anyone knows what fHandleFile / ShellExecute error 5 means?
Thanks.

Whilst I'm not sure about your specific situation, IO Error Code 5, under most circumstances means "Access Denied".

SP2 has probably introduced some additional security that you may need to relax.

Hope this helps.
