accepting files in C/C++

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.:)

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.

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