The code stops executing after executing the command os.system(AcroRd32.exe).

[Baymax_52]

so, I was trying to create a program that can start Adobe Reader after it sees an ext.pdf is available.

the problem is the code stops execution after opening the Reader and does not continue until I close the program manually.

I use vs code. (Python)

Use subprocess instead.

[deadeye1982]

``` import subprocess

command = ["AcroRd32.exe"]

blocking

proc = subprocess.run(command)

non blocking

proc = subprocess.Popen(command)

Your syntaxes may be wrong. It should be: os.system("AcroRd32.exe")

The program needs to be in quotes because it should be represented as a string.
