Hi, how can I open a file from vb6 (And Not Using the Shell Command)?

what i would like to do is that when i open the file it automaticly will know the program that should open the file. Just like when we click a file through the explorer (for example a *.doc and it knows to open the word for this file. i want to do the same through vb but without the Shell. Just for the backgroud of that request - I have a list of files from the same Program. when i use the shell it will open the program each time with the new file. I want it to open the files on the same platform - on the same program.)

Thank you
