As Remy has said, FindExecutable is the correct way to do this. Here is an
example :-

AnsiString get_executable_name(AnsiString fnm)
{
  char appnam[MAXPATH];
  FindExecutable(fnm.c_str(),GetCurrentDir().c_str(),appnam);
  return AnsiString(appnam);
}

which returns the application name for any given filename, or blank if there is
no associated application.

I am getting to know the heart of XP - the registry. What the keys are for and
how they interact - this is a lifetime mission (possibly!).
