My comment:
lpVerb in SHELLEXECUTEINFO Structure:
String, referred to as a verb, that specifies the action to be performed. The set of available verbs depends on the particular file or folder. Generally, the actions available from an object`s shortcut menu are available verbs.

cBuffer = num2dword(INFO_SIZE) +;
        num2dword(nFlag) +;
        num2dword(hWindow) +;
        num2dword(oVerb.GetAddr()) +;
        num2dword(oFile.GetAddr()) +;
        Repli(Chr(0), 40)

= ShellExecuteEx(@cBuffer)

The following verbs are commonly used:

edit
Launches an editor and opens the document for editing.

explore
Explores the folder specified by lpFile.

find
