Is there a way to search for a special winapi instruction, e.g ShellExecute, to so that you can set a brake point to that instruction and look which program is executed?

In CE, open the memory viewer and hit Ctrl+G, then type in the API name and press ok. Keep in mind most API have an Ansi and Unicode version, meaning you may need to use:
- ShellExecuteA
- ShellExecuteW
