Hi mwaite,
the code I used is
Code:
Shell("pword.exe","\temp\test.txt\")
which is not diffeent from yours.
I checked my registry and found additional entries like
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.txt >> Content Type = text/plain
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\txtfile\ >> Default = txt
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\txtfile\ >> EditFlags = 65535
