With a file association you have the ability to form a command line based on the file clicked. There is a place holder for the file name clicked on, and I think the path too and also the current directory. This is how Word starts when you double click on a .doc file. Also, you can set up right click associations... so if you right click on a .doc file and choose print it knows what command to send to Word.
Right click on a DOC file and see how it is different menu than if you right click on say an ini file. Take a look at the file associations for a .doc file to see this. This is all built into the Windows shell.
