no, sorry
to my knowledge only games and files made by game editor can be opened like that

might be able to use:

Code: Select all: openUrl("C:\WINDOWS\system32\calc.exe");

since the file locations are treated as urls.

Sparky's terminal simulator was just a simulator. It could do some dos coding, like changing background colors etc. But it didn't open programs.
With GE you can't even open an EXE if it's not created with GE. I've made a topic about this and Makslane told me GE's idea is to open just GE games, not other files.
