I am trying to use whatever my user has set as their default media
device rather than running in the default window that the TMediaPlayer
provides.

When I try to use WinExec, it gets upset because my AVI files aren't
.EXE files.

When I try to use iexplore, it doesn't find the default windows
directory to run iexplore, and thus doesn't route the command.

Have you got any suggestions?  I have a fairly firm grasp on
programming, but am new to C++, and may need some translation, but any
help will be much appreciated.
