I can open an image from RPG using STRPCO & STRPCCMD using "start."

But, as Scott has pointed out, that blinks the DOS command prompt window open and seems kinda cheesy.

So... I got all excited and decided to use rundll32, as has been recommended.

Doesn't work. Obviously I am doing something idiotic.

Lets suppose I have an image:

c:\Users\Sam\Pictures\Halloween\Anatomy.jpg

I want that image to open with whatever program the user has associated with .jpg extensions. What is the STRPCCMD command? What obvious thing am I missing?

Another thing that worried me: rundll32 sounds like it is for 32 bit machines and Windows 7 runs on 64 bit. Are we looking at a scenario where in a few years rundll32 will be as unsupported, just as 16 bit stuff is today?
