    What code are you using? "program.exe %1" probably is the shell command keys default value for your file type, you just have to enter the path to your exe and make your app interpret the command line.

    reverse (p (6*9)) where p x|x==0=""|True=chr (48+z): p y where (y,z)=divMod x 13

    The command$ function returns the whole command string, if you have %1 in registry it will return the file name

    Msgbox Command$
