Hello, Thank you for replying. I followed your link. But I've already call EnableShellOpen in the CWinApp::InitInstance. And my application is listed under "Open with" menu. When I open a file with the "Open with" menu, the shell actually launch my app. However I don't know how to do further processing like retrieving the file being launched and open it. Can you help me doing that?

I'm assuming you have either an SDI or MDI application. Yes? If clicking on a particular file opened your application, then the file is already opened and its name can be obtained from the document's
GetPathName()method.
