title: Opening a file in a Metro app from command line
body: <p>I need a way to open a file in a Metro app from command line.</p>
  
  <p>So far I've figured out how to start the app from command line without any third-party scripts</p>
  
  <pre><code>explorer shell:AppsFolder\Microsoft.Reader_8wekyb3d8bbwe!Microsoft.Reader
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but I haven't been able to figure out how to include a file name yet.</p>
  
  <p>Launching</p>
  
  <pre><code>explorer shell:AppsFolder\Microsoft.Reader_8wekyb3d8bbwe!Microsoft.Reader example.pdf
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>just opens up a default explorer window.</p>
  
  <p>Any idea from Windows 8 experts on how to accomplish this <strong>without</strong> any third-party tools/cmdlets/etc.?</p>
  
  <p><em>Note</em>: In fact I'm using Windows 10 but I guess if there's a Windows 8 / 8.1 way to do it, it'll work for 10, too.</p>
