Archived from groups: microsoft>public>windowsxp>customize (more info?)

Is there a way to automatically launch the file "Properties" dialog
(The window dialog which appears when you right click on a file and
select "Properties" in Windows Explorer) from the command line? I am
looking around using explorer.exe or shimgvw.dll - I would like to
configure an application to open an image file's propeties.
