Try this:

   Runtime.getRuntime.exec( new String[] { "rundll32", 
      "url.dll,FileProtocolHandler", fileName } );

I have not actually tried this exact code, but I think it should work.  
Under Windoze, this should launch the configured handler application 
for any file -- an HTML file, MS Word document, PDF file, etc.  If you 
use this, you do not have to know where the application executable is 
stored, or even what application should be used for a given document.

The fileName argument can also be a URL string, so the document does 
not have to be on a local filesystem.  I believe it can also be a 
filename using normal (forward) slashes, rather than backasswards 
Windows ones.
