Open With from a command line

In Explorer, highlighting a particular file and r-clicking
it while holding down the Shift key brings up a context
menu with an "Open with" option.

Is there any way I can automate this via a single command
line?

I'm thinking of something like this ...

some_command.exe /option_1 ... /option_n %1

... where %1 is the file I wish to open.

Would rundll32.exe or explorer.exe have appropriate command
line options?

Hi Franc

I might be missing something here, but I /think/ the following
free utility could be configured to "send" things (in this case
URL's) to specific programs, in this case browsers.

As a possible alternative, I also highly recommend URL Organizer
2 by Edward Leigh, which allows you to choose the browser you
will be opening the URL with, in addition to its other wonderful
options and features.
