  I am not sure if your APP is already open what message is sent (never 
tested that). If your APP is not open, windows starts it with the file 
as the parameter, so you can pick it up in pretty much any message sent 
on startup from "startup" through "preOpenStack" to "openStack" or even 
"openCard"
