    How to open a file with string through USB?

    I am trying to open a file ( like a picture) by sending a null terminated string from a micro-controller through a USB to my computer. The only command that I have available to send to the PC is: "_SendString232" or

    uchar _SendString232 (long ptr)

    Is there a program that can get the info from the USB and then open the desired file? Can I write a program ( e.x. in Microsoft Visual Studio or other environment) that gets info from the USB then have that program open a file? Is it possible to send a ShellExecute() command through the USB making windows open a file?

    I EMPHATICALLY THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP!!!

    My computer specs:
    64-bit Dell with Windows 7 OS.

    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
