Hi everyone...
Thanks for your prompt reply...

After reading your posts and a brief review over the MSDN web site I have
three questions:

Does the CreateProcess open a folder when a folder path is given instead of
a path + filename?

How can I show the "Open with" window when there's no associated program to
the filename extension?

If the above situation is solved by calling GetLastError(), how do I use
this function?

Thanks for all your help...
