It depends on what you mean by "open". Do you need to read the file? Also, a Word document can be more complicated, depending on what you need.

Well, that's how I'd do it.

If there's some ambiguity over which program should be used to open files with those extensions, then you could use code like this:

if (path.EndsWith(".doc"))
{
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("winword.exe", path);
}
else if (path.EnsWith(".txt"))
{
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("notepad.exe", path);
}
