Perform a "FindExecutable"-API call on a DOC-file. And then,
stop crossposting like mad:

alt.lang.basic, (huuh?)
comp.lang.basic.misc, (huuh?)
comp.lang.basic.visual, (huuh? What's that?)
comp.lang.basic.visual.database, (huuh?)
comp.lang.basic.visual.misc,
comp.os.ms-windows.nt.admin.networking, (huuh?)
fr.comp.lang.basic, (huuh?)
it.comp.lang.visual-basic, (huuh?)
microsoft.public.vb.3rdparty, (huuh?)
microsoft.publ-> my newsreader stopped the list here....
