<user mode on>Well the thing is i make my own launchers, and i do not 
know i have to add %u and %f stuff to whatever 'command line' or 
whatever that is they told me to type in</usermode off>

Basicly, if this does not 'magicly' work, there's a very small chance a 
actualy user is gonna get it to work.. end result would be that drag and 
droping files on launchers is worthless from a users perspective

I gues the way out is to 'hope' most applications know that param 1 == 
file name they need to open
