Open file in a specific application.

[Dorian (MJT support)]

Sometimes, I need to open a file using an application that is not set as default for that filetype.

Of course, if you want to open a file using the default application, you'd simply use ExecuteFile.

The following snippet allows me to control which application I want my file to open in. In this case, I'm making it open in MS Paint, using RunProgram.

RunProgram>msPaint.exe %FileName%

E.G.
RunProgram>msPaint.exe c:\filename.bmp

Thanks Meryl.

In my 18 years or so of using Macro Scheduler, I've learned that little tips like this can make a world of difference.
