Summary 0000048: Double clicking on a file in metaexplore may not automatically call the registered file type handler.
Description Double clicking on a file in metaexplore may not automatically call the registered file type handler. This was reproduced in Windows 98 SE, when double cliking on a file with the .txt extension, the Shell handler would not open notepad as it should. Also reproduced on Windows 2000 SP4, this might be a problem with the actuall Shell handler, because it seems to work for other file types.

The problem seems to have been when doing the call to ShellExecuteEx() we did not set the following flags in the ExecShellInfo structures:

ExecShellInfo.fMask:=SEE_MASK_FLAG_DDEWAIT;
ExecShellInfo.nShow:=SW_SHOW;

The window might not have been visible depending on the target application, and there is no official message loop in the application, which might lead to failure.

The problem now seems to have been solved.
