Assuming that you just want to launch files which already have some associated applications (eg: *.txt is associated with notepad), Use System.Diagnostics.Process.

e.g. :

 using System.Diagnostics;
    Process p = new Process();
    ProcessStartInfo pi = new ProcessStartInfo();
    pi.UseShellExecute = true;
    pi.FileName = @"MY_FILE_WITH_FULL_PATH.jpg";
    p.StartInfo = pi;

    try
    {
        p.Start();
    }
    catch (Exception Ex)
    {
        //MessageBox.Show(Ex.Message);
    }

Note: In my PC, the pic opens in Windows Picture & Fax Viewer since that is the default application for *.jpg files.
