   That's your procedure that does whatever when its been given a filename (ie loading the file into a textbox or something)

   The code is working fine, except for the OpenFile bit.
   The comment says to call your openfile procedure.
   What is the OpenFile command?

   In using implimens this process into an application, I noticed the following line:
   

   
   ret = RegSetValue&(lphKey, "shellopencommand", REGSZ, sKeyValue, MAXPATH)
   

   
   did not properly register the association. I am using Windows 98 and had to change the above line to:
   

   
   ret = RegSetValue&(lphKey, "shell\open\command", REGSZ, sKeyValue, MAXPATH)
   

   
   to get it to work properly.
