Command line question

[sabka]

How do I get windows to open up a .mpg file with the default mpg player from the command line?

I tried "play blabla.mpg", "open blabla.mpg" and I can't think of anything else.

I'm creating a program that would open the default media player and play the file. What woudl the corresponding command line be?

Thanks

In Windows 2000 you merely type the filename, and the associated program will open it.

C:\> aybabtu.mpg

Would open it up using whatever program. I don't really feel like booting into 98 to check 9X compatiblity. A better option would probably be ShellExecute'ing mplayer or mplayer2 + the filename.

The best option would be to use the native association methods that Win32 has.
