Thankyou for your comments...
I do buy LV as part of a developer suite so could use the toolkit you mentioned. While PDF's and Word docs are the main files I open they are not the only. I guess I could open different file types different ways. I just hoped there was a better all round way to do it.
As far as Windows Explorer goes... My application is a file manager targetted directly at the file structures we use for developing functional test applications. The application handles all the file management requirements (i.e. WIP Backups, deploying, zipping/archiving etc) and its an added feature that you can 'explore' a given folder directly from the application. The general idea is that all our developers create systems using the same structure and approach.

Have you looked at the VI in vi.lib\Platform\browser.llb\Open a Document on Disk.vi. It opens the document passed in according to its file ending and attempts to communicate with the target application through DDE if possible before using the command line. Even then I have not seen a cmd window popup so far.
