This Function Launch tha program associated to this file type. If no program associated raise an error. I don't know where You can associate some program to edit some file type. To Start PSP You must associate this file type with it. In PSP Goto "File->Prefferences->File Type Associations" and select the type You need. After that You must use "open" instead of edit run ShellExecute()





>It works fine, but... where do you tell the program to launch just MsPaint ?
>what sould I do to launch, for example Paint shop Pro ? Does It open the application associated to the File Type for Editing ?
