I have written a program that creates a kml or bat file which is
applicable for Google Earth representation. So, now I want to know that
how can I open this file after create Automatically with IDL (like using double click on kml file)?
Thanks in Advance

On Windows, at least, if the file association is set for a particular file name extension, simply calling SPAWN to the full path to your file will launch the associated executable. Remember to use double-quotes around your file path string if it includes spaces.
