Get Program Name from Executable Path?

[jrohde]

Hello,

I've set up a context menu in a list control, where the user has the option upon right-clicking to "Open File", "Open in Notepad", "Show in Folder", etc...

Works fine, but what I'd prefer to do is be able to list the actual program name (i.e. "Open in <Default App Name>") in the menu item. I know I can get the executable path using ::FindExecutable(), but is there a way to get the "formal" or "shorthand" name of the program associated with the .exe path? For example, if it's a .h file, I would want it to say "Open in Microsoft Visual Studio", instead of "Open in C:/Program Files/.../devenv.exe".

Thanks in advance!
