Is it possible to use Process.Start to open a file with a program other that the default program?
For instance, like
Process.Start("C:\file.txt");, but opening it in word instead of notepad

Process p = new Process(); p.StartInfo.FileName = "notepad.exe"; // or "WINWORD.exe"; p.StartInfo.Arguments = "C:\\file.txt"; p.Start();
