Problem Statement:
When a Html file is double clicked,Windows starts Firefox and passes the file to it.
I have created a tiny html reader and set it as my default browser.
But when any html file is double clicked,the reader pops open,BLANK,and an error pops up saying:[My fault Error,rectified thanks to spyware]"There was a problem sending the command to the program"
How do I tell the Prog. to accept the file?
I prefer C to C++.
Thanks in advance for suggestions/answers.
While you read this message,corrupt politicians are gobbling up your hard earned money;rebels,armies and terrorists are torturing and killing hundreds of innocent men;companies are exploiting millions of people and ruining the environment,people are fighting each other on the basis of color,creed and religion and your nation is being slowly destroyed.
But whats REALLY worrying,is that I write color instead of colour.

You did not get a popup saying "Error passing the file to the program", post the real error.

My bad,it says:"There was a problem passing the command to the program"
Thanks for that Spyware..I was writing it from memory..not a very good thing..considering the fact that I am unable to even remember the names of my friends.

I'm not entirely familiar with how this works, but iirc this error is caused by the DDE connection failing. DDE is a windows feature it uses to see if the program is already running to avoid popping up two separate instances, and I think your program must have support for it or else it will fail. DDE can be turned off, however I don't have a clue how.
The irony of man's condition is that the deepest need is to be free of the anxiety of death and annihilation; but it is life itself which awakens it, and so we must shrink from being fully alive.

If you google things, at least google properly: http://bit.ly/6IFUEB

Sorry, it rather seemed like you googled the error and found the problem, but not the answer. I guess this wasn't the case.
