I'm not familiar with "RuneShellExcute" (or RunShellExecute if that's
what you mean) so I don't understand the question.

How I use the ShellExcute function to open file or send e-mail ?

FYI, the System.Diagnostics.Process class encapsulates ShellExecute
calls so I recommend using that instead of calling ShellExecute
directly.

You can use it to open a file in the application registered for the
file extension, or to open the default e-mail client app to compose a
new mail (by opening a mailto: URL). You don't use ShellExecute to
actually send the e-mail.

I recommend to use 'Process.Start' instead of 'ShellExecute'.
