How to create a new process in C++ code under Windows?

Question

Can anybody answer me the question of how to create a new process from within C++ code with specific parameters for that process under windows ? e.g how to execute

"C:\Program Files (x86)\WinRAR\UnRAR.exe"

with some arguments ? or how to execute "reg import myRegEntry.reg" ?

I like explanations, but sometimes examples are better. I would be very thankfull for both

Thanks for anybody's help.
