Moving File...

dim fso

Set ws = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") 

fso.MoveFile "c:\file.txt", "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start 

Menu\Programs\Startup\"

set fso = Nothing

Opening an exe file...

dim objShell
dim strCommand

set objShell = WScript.CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
strCommand = CHR(34) & "C:\FILE.exe" & CHR(34)
objShell.run strCommand ,6 ,"FALSE"

set objShell = Nothing

Opening other files....

dim objShell, file_path, PROGRAME_PATH 

Set objShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") 

PROGRAME_PATH = "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office"

file_path = CHR(34) & "C:\file.doc" & CHR(34) 

objShell.Run CHR(34) & PROGRAME_PATH & "\winword.exe" & CHR(34) & file_path, 0, "FALSE"

Here you need to specify the path(PROGRAME_PATH) and exe file name bases on the file association.

Hope this helps......
