I think there are two issues to consider:

 - a program is invoked which is not in a folder defined in the %path%
variable
 - the file has not the extension .ly

I've attached a small program to check the user's choice for an application
to open that file and to find the full command line command in HKCR\… 
regQuery.bat
<http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/file/n144800/regQuery.bat>  

so if you can run such a "system" call you should get this information back
