hi,

In Windows, there is a default way to open a file,
like double click test.txt file, then Notepad will
open the test.txt, double click test.doc, then
MS-Word will open the test.doc.

If I want to open a specific file, test.KEY,
with my application, how do I do it ?
The suffix ".KEY" is fixed.
More specific, I have a file test.KEY in
C:\DEFORM3D\PROBLEM\test.KEY
my application is in C:\DEFORM3D\V6_0\DEF_GUI3.EXE,

when double-click C:\DEFORM3D\PROBLEM\test.KEY,
I want to open it like :
C:\DEFORM3D\V6_0\DEF_GUI3.EXE -m pre -d C:\DEFORM3D\PROBLEM -i test -f 
test.KEY

Can anyone point me a direction ?

I believe that I have to write a python script to register
something first. Is there any workable scripts I can borrow ?



Best regards.
Michael Li
