Hello,
1. As far as I remember, you don't have to implement this verb in any
explicit way. What the shell actually does is launching your application
executable passing the opened file as a command line argument. Therefore,
what you should do is checking whether some arguments have been passed in
the command line and open the specified file if necessary.
2. I am not sure what do you mean here. As the file type association is
usually created upon setup, it is the setup routine's task to determine the
installation folder and tune the file association accordingly. When your
application is launched through the file association, you don't usually need
to know where the executable has been started from.

I deployed my project and made a file association, let say that the
extension is .xyz Up to here all works fine. The problems i have are :
1. In the file types editor a verb named "open" is associated with the
action "Open". How can I write the verb "open" in the main program? Can
you please give me an example of an "open" verb.
2. How can I locate the path of the executable file that is invoked when a
file with the extension xyz (the extension of my program) is doubled
clicked?
