   As Jerry said, write.exe is in Windows, and therefore in the environment path,   
   while WordPad is somewhere in Program Files (mine is in ...Files\Windows NT\).   
      
   On my machine, .RTF is clearly associated with MS Word, not WordPad. However,   
   this prints the specified file, apparently using WordPad:   
      
   Private Sub Command1_Click()   
       Call Shell("write.exe /p C:\test.rtf")   
   End Sub
