If you require it to open files, then you can use ShellExecute with the edit (or open) verb to get everything done all-in-one, else you can use SHAssocEnumHandlers to get the handlers for the text based files you are interested in.
In the most simple case, you can also use %windir%\\notepad.exe which will link to notepad on any desktop version of windows.
The usual way would be with
FindExecutable.
