The easiest way is to use WinExec Smile

Code:
invoke WinExec, 'path\to\program.exe', WINDOW_MODE

; Window Modes (not 100% sure here):
; 0 (Hidden -- not shown in taskbar)
; 1 (Display -- normal)
; 2 (Display -- minimized)
; 3 (Display -- maximized)
    


Be sure to import WinExec from KERNEL32.DLL as well.

The WinExec function is for 16bit compatability, if your running newer versions of windows you should use:

Code:
BOOL CreateProcess(
  LPCTSTR lpApplicationName,
  LPTSTR lpCommandLine,
  LPSECURITY_ATTRIBUTES lpProcessAttributes,
  LPSECURITY_ATTRIBUTES lpThreadAttributes,
  BOOL bInheritHandles,
  DWORD dwCreationFlags,
  LPVOID lpEnvironment,
  LPCTSTR lpCurrentDirectory,
  LPSTARTUPINFO lpStartupInfo,
  LPPROCESS_INFORMATION lpProcessInformation
);    


invoke CreateProcess,lpApplicationname,lpCommandLine,.....

NOTE:
If the executable module is a 16-bit application, lpApplicationName should be NULL, and the string pointed to by lpCommandLine should specify the executable module as well as its arguments.

CreateProcess is more complex to invoke though.
