ShellExecute use the associated file with the program

ShellExecute("C:\test.txt")

this opens the text.txt. file in notepad ( on my computer )

oh i know that...

sorry, i wasn't clear enough I meant that the file that i want to open is named "data.ab1" for example.

Since .ab1 isn't seen as a text file, how can i still manage to open the file with notepad.exe ? Do you know that

but thanks for helping me

Have you tried

Run("notepad.exe somefile.ext")

?

Why wouldn't it work? It's called a command line. That's how files are opened when they aren't processed through DDE.

This Run cmd resembles the command.exe commands, and I'm not familiar with these kind of stuff.

Didn't knew that run could pass other things too.

I only know website codes like html, php, javascript and css and only autoit language

But many thanks for your help! now i can help my mom for her address book for her restaurant .
