It makes sense when you understand what is actually happening behind the scenes. The "openas" verb is still a verb like any other, and as such must still have the appropriate Registry settings in place to support it. It turns out that the "openas" verb is associated only with the "Unknown" subkey, in other words is only for file extensions that don't actually exist in the registry at all. If you pass in a filename with an extension that does exist in the Registry but simply doesn't have the "open" and "openas" associations set up for itself, then that would explain the symptoms that you are seeing. If, however, you pass in a filename with a truely unknown extension, then "openas" should be triggered correctly. Gambit
