How do i program my current program to input a command into another console in C++?

Question

After creating a process (addaccount.exe) using my current process (run.exe), how do i program run.exe to input a command or pass information directly to addaccount.exe?

Edit: So, if i have

STARTUPINFO si;
ZeroMemory(&si, sizeof(si));
si.hStdInput = //What do i put here?

I removed "C/C++" from your title, as you only use the C++ tag. Note that C is not the same as C++, and that there is no language called "C/C++". — Sebastian Mach

If you're using CreateProcess WIN32 function to create the new process, then you can set the standard input and output file handles of the new process. See the STARTUPINFO structure, especially the three file handles at the end of that structure.

@Deckdyl Use your favorite search engine, there are plenty of examples and tutorials available, not only on MSDN or here on SO, but all over.
