I tried this, and unfortunately rundll32 does not return any sort of 
error code.  Instead, it shows a dialog titled "Problem with Shortcut" 
with the message 'Unable to open "filename.xyz"'.

I also tried the CMD START mechanism and it does not return an error 
code either.  Instead, it displays the Windows "Open With..." dialog.

I don't know any way of determining this without resorting to native 
code.
