I don't think that second declare will work. Both NT (as far as I know) and 95 use the first one, but the strings should be passed by reference.

I see you've discovered one of the beauties of ShellExecute(), you can smply pass the name of the file you want opened and the associated application will open and run it. It would be interesting on the NT machine to see if FindExecutable() (also in Shell32) is returning the same application.
