Check your registry.  Mine shows this command (one line) :
%SystemRoot%\system32\rundll32.exe
%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,OpenAs_RunDLL %1

which brings us to this code:
>	char	rundll[] = "c:\\windows\\system32\\rundll32.exe";
>	char	params[] = "c:\\windows\\system32\\shell32.dll,OpenAs_RunDLL c:\\fullpath\\filename";
>	ShellExecute(NULL,"open",rundll,params,NULL,SW_SHOWNORMAL);
Which also runs as
>	char	rundll[] = "rundll32.exe";
>	char	params[] = "shell32.dll,OpenAs_RunDLL c:\\fullpath\\filename";
>	ShellExecute(NULL,"open",rundll,params,NULL,SW_SHOWNORMAL);
