Launch Default Application

Posted this in the Multimedia group, but it doesn't appear to be that
active.  Isn't there a ShellExecute command I can send that will open the
default player - the same thing that happens when you right-click on the DVD
drive and choose 'Play'?

**********************************************

I'd like to create a little app that resides on the burned DVD Video disc I
provide customers.  When the customer places the disk in their PC DVD drive,
the autorun kicks of my program.  Within this program, I'd provide the user
with two options: 1) play the DVD using the default player or 2) view
exclusive DVD content from the disc - very similar to the Matrix discs.

Now, I can figure out #2 - but what's the command to execute the default DVD
player for the current drive and play the DVD as normal on a user's system?

Thanks in Advance
