Exploring a file - ShellExecute

Hi!

I want to explore a file in Windows Explorer. ShellExecute is working good
with folders, but I want a file to be selected in the file list.
How can I tell to Explorer, select a specified file?

Best Regards,
At

There are a load of command line params you can pass to explorer to
control this sort of thing...

Have a play with this...

params:='/n, /e, /select, '+defaultdir+filename;
ShellExecute(Application.MainForm.Handle, 'open', 'explorer',
pchar(params),'', ShowCmd);
