NSWorkspace is even a better form of this; a little more impedance
match.
However in either the NSWorkspace or LaunchServices cases it would be
best to get at the /System/Library folder dynamically, something like:
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains
(NSLibraryDirectory, NSSystemDomainMask, NO);
return ([paths count] == 0) ? NO : [NSWorkspace openFile:[[paths
objectAtIndex:0] stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"PreferencePanes/
Speech.prefPane"]];

Is there anything wrong with using Launch Services directly?
(untested code):
#import <LaunchServices/LaunchServices.h>
BOOL UKLaunchSpeechSettings( NSURL* *outLaunchedAppURL )
{
NSURL* myPrefPane = [NSURL fileURLWithPath: @"/System/Library/
PreferencePanes/Speech.prefPane"];
NSURL* launchedAppURL = nil;
OSStatus err = LSOpenCFURLRef( (CFURLRef) myPrefPane, (CFURLRef
*) outLaunchedAppURL );
[(*outLaunchedAppURL) autorelease];
if( err == noErr )
return YES; // success.
else
return NO;
}
I don't see why everyone always keeps starting up command-line
tools or even inserting placeholders in shell scripts when we have
perfectly good APIs (and this time it's not even "evil Carbon").
