I have grid of available files and I want the user to be able to click on the row and launch that program. Thanks in Advance...

Lookup the Windows API ShellExecute function with using the "open" operation, it's the same API that the Windows Explorer uses. You should be able to find the documentation in Delphi's help, and in the MSDN Platform SDK documentation. And, you'll have to add the ShellAPI unit to your uses clause.
