Hi,
I want to open a File with unknown Extension using C#. What i want
is
i do System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("FileName");
Now if File is associated with any program then the File with open
with that Application, this is working fine.

My requirement says, if file extension is unknown or not associated
with any application then, it should open the Default windows Program
association box and allow user to select a program to open that file.

Thanks.
Abhijeet Kumar.
