 reader, while for us it will fail.
 
 There used to be a bug suggesting the use of gnome-open or ksomething
 or... But it was closed as a WONTFIX. Which is the same that I would
 do with this bug except for the windows side of it.

+Unfortunately I don't know Linux enough to propose a correct 
+solution but invoking the shell executable is not what this function 
+should do. It has a lot of functionality and I'm not sure that it 
+will execute the associated document viewer rather than the file 
+itself. In addition shell supports things that are not supported by 
+ShellExecuteEx.
+
+Please look at the MSDN documentation of ShellExecuteEx and if you 
+know some function that is more like this than invoking shell 
+executable use it.
