    I would like to launch .doc and .xls files from my vb app with the following command :

    ii=Shell("c:\test.doc", 1)

    Can someone let me know how to get the full path of Word and Excel? Also, I do not want to rely on a particular version of office being installed. (7.0,8.0,etc. in a registry lookup command)

    Thanks
