Is there a way to run a non-exe file so that the default program for the file's extension is used to open the file? If I browse to the file in the Windows File Explorer I can double click the file and Windows will automatically start the program for that given file type. For instance, I can click on a .xls file and Windows will automatically start Excel and have it open that file. Is there a way to do something similar from a cygwin command line? That is, I'd like to be able to do something like this:
cygwin> cd /tmp cygwin> ls a.xls cygwin> runfile a.xls and have it automatically look in the File Types listing of File Explorer and start the associated program to open the file.
