If your main purpose is to handle the Open With feature I think the path of the file being opened is passed as a command line argument to your application. You need to read that argument and open the file from that path. Note that I am not familiar with DirectX or DirectShow programming. I am currently using a programming SDK (leadtools) that wraps the DirectShow for .NET developers. You can find more details here .
