Sorry if this is a simplistic question, but I am just getting started with VB.  I have written a simple picture viewer which allows the user to select an image file and displays the image.  What I would like to do is associate the .exe file with certain file type, and have the program start up when a file of that type is selected and display the selected file.  I have associated the file type with the program, so it does start when I double click the file, but it does not display the file.  How can I pass the file information to the VB program so it will know what file to display when it starts?

TIA,
  Tom

If you go to: http://vbsquare.com/files/association/, it has the code there (by another person).

Not sure if the code works, but it's there.

A few things though for you to consider: 1) if any other program uses the same extension, ask the user before just making your's the default for it, 2) http://filext.com has a listing of many file extensions, so you can see which ones may cause problems.
