exec() will execute the app as the system, not a user, so cannot interact
with the desktop.
One way of getting around this would be (for NT) to use the exec() command
to create an AT schedule for 1 min in the future and set it to /interactive
which would cause the app to load and interact with th
he page would hang?
PHP waits for exec to finish first. Rerouting the output to a blank file
should do the trick. Hope it helps

This works:
Exec("mkdir myDirectory");
... this doesn't:
Exec("C:\\Program Files\\WinAmp\\winamp.exe");

Again, you can't do this. You can certainly make winamp execute on the
server PC. To what end you'd want to do this I don't know. What u seem to
want to do is force winamp to run on a users PC whenever they visit your
webpage. This may seem harmless, but this ability would be a nightmare.
