Description

Sets the verb, that specifies the action to be performed.
The set of available verbs depends on the particular file or folder. Generally, the actions available from an object's shortcut menu are available verbs. This parameter can be "", in which case the default verb is used if available. If not, the "open" verb is used. If neither verb is available, the system uses the first verb listed in the registry. The following verbs are commonly used:

editLaunches an editor and opens the document for editing. If lpFile is not a document file, the RunTask.Launch function will fail.
exploreExplores the folder specified by lpFile.
findInitiates a search starting from the specified directory.
openOpens the file specified by the lpFile parameter. The file can be an executable file, a document file, or a folder.
printPrints the document file specified by lpFile. If File is not a document file, the RunTask.Launch function will fail.
propertiesDisplays the file or folder's properties.
