OP: "upon double-clicking on the file itself"
I don't think "Right-click the file, Open With -> Choose Program..." qualifies.

Its the pre-qualifier to "upon double-clicking on the file itself" and satisfies the "without going through setup and deployment actions" requirement.
1) Right-click the file, Open With -> Choose Program...
2) Browse for your program.
3) Check the "Always use the selected program..." and click OK
The Shell Open registry entries are then done for you without using RegEdit.

Im sorry if i didnt quite say it.., i was wondering if how my c# application would output a file..but can in turn activate my application through clicking the file itself. Registered maybe in windows registry...having default file types, icons, etc. Thanks anyway...

- Open up regedit
- Goto HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
- Create (or modify) the default value of the key which is
.ext where ext is the extension to point to another keyname e.g. extfile - Create a key under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT called
extfile - Create a subkey called
Shell - Create a subkey called
Open - Change the default value to point to your program with
%1 being passed as an argument, %1 will be replaced by the shell with the name of the file you clicked
Hope I got that right from the top of my head 
I have no idea what I just said. But my intentions were sincere.

Sure.
Now have the EXE itself check, and if first time, modify the registry to programmatically
execute those steps.
It is not difficult at all.
Now the user simply has to double click the EXE once, after that he can double click
either the EXE or one of the application's data files.

The marquee tag has never been part of any html standard at all.
Despite the obvious aesthetic considerations, you can choose to use it anyway. It might work in some browsers, but as it's not part of the standard, any browser can choose to ignore it.

I have the help requested event set on my form only, but the event is firing one time for the control selected and for each container the control is in.
ie form with a button on it and the button focused fires the event twice. Put the button inside a groupbox and the event fires three times. Etc.
The problem is that if my help document is missing instead of one error message, i get multiple error messageboxes displayed. The sender is always the form object so I can't screen that way. Is there an option I'm not seeing that would allow me to prevent the multiple fires, or do I need to find a way to suppress the multiple messagebox.show() calls within my help controller class.

Rules of thumb should not be taken for the whole hand.

There is a Handled property on the HelpEventArgs passed into your HelpRequested event handler - just set Handled = true to prevent the event from continuing down the chain. The behaviour you are seeing is by design.

You can right click on the toolbox to see a list of items there, and you can then add it from there.

For over a year now I have used "Media Player Classic" because it has
a very good set of command line arguments. I renamed it to MPC.exe and
initiate it in this manner.
string sysCommand = Environment.CurrentDirectory + "\\mpc.exe";
string filename = " /play /close /fullscreen \x22" + fname + "\x22";
System.Diagnostics.Process proc =
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(sysCommand, filename );
proc.WaitForExit();

I need assistance on how to write codes that will allow my software users to backup data from the database and also restore [SOL Server 2000]

Look in the SQL Server documentation for BACKUP and RESTORE. Then call the appropriate commands using SqlCommand.ExecuteNonQuery();

My application is converting .doc, .xls, .pdf files to .pdf. I have Adobe Acrobat 6.0 running for the conversion. This is an automated process. Sometimes if the file is created in 7.0 and the program tries to convert the file it fails because there is a messagebox saying that the version is a newer or most times it simply fails. Is there a way to check in the code if this file is created in a higher version they don't attempt on converting the file.

PDF files are binary files; they do however start with 8 ASCII characters indicating the
PDF version they adhere to. Example: %PDF-1.3 (remark: no terminating null)
So you might check for a specific version or version range before trying to process a PDF file.

I wonder what are things I can put in XML in regular C# code, variable names maybe, guess not, but what can we use it for?
Files path for resource files, or something like that, what is use of XML in regular Windows program, hope this isn't wrong room... btw?
Can I put user data for example some options settings instead of con fig or registry?
Can I put some user input like user list or use it like small data-base file?

You can basically put anything you want in XML, the Extensible part of Extensible Markup Language.
