File Type To Program Associations And File Location(Windows)

In Windows if I have a program association set to invoke my program to open/edit a data file with a specific extension, how will my program - once invoked - know the path and filename of the data file? Preferably solutions using batch, C++, or C. -Tom

Look at the command line arguments (i.e. %1, %2... for batch, argv[1]... for C++, C) - they should hold the path and name of the .gb file (or if there's no path, at least a name relative to the current working directory).
