Is it possible to get the program that is launched based on file t

[Jason soby]

Hi,

I'm trying to get the exe name of the program that is launched when i do

ProcessStartInfo info = new ProcessStartInfo();
info.Verb = "print";
info.FileName = FilePath + FileName + "." + FileType;

Process process = new Process();
process.StartInfo = info;
process.Start();

Now, process.ProcessName will get it, but i need the info BEFORE i start it
so i'm a little stumped now. Is this possible?

I don't know if there's anything managed, but there is the FindExecutable()
API function.

I have to claim API knowledge on this one, in the sense that I was pretty
sure such a function existed and that it would be a shell function, but I
did have to look through a list of shell functions on MSDN before I found
the exact one.
