Auto-opening a document

I'm trying to get a program to open a document automatically when i run said program. I already have the program set up to open when the computer starts up, i just need it to open the document too. The program is essentially there just for this document. Are there any ways to tweek the settings for the document or is there a free macro program out there that i can set up to open this document. The whole reason I am trying to do this is to streamline efficiency at my place of business.
 
I would just make a batch script and add that to the startup folder.
In the script type
start "Filelocation"
and make sure to write the file extension
 
Thanks for the help. This should get me started. I'm not very familiar with writing a batch script, but I can probably figure it out with a quick google search.
 
Ok, I have figured out how to start writing the batch file, but when I run it, my computer says it cant find the file. The file is their, I've checked. Do I need to write the entire file path i.e. C:\Documents and settings... or do i just write the file name. I have tried both, and neither seem to work.
 
I have written the batch file, I am just having trouble getting my computer to run it.
What I have written is:

@echo off
start C:\Documents and settings\admin\My Documents\20039 Accuterm.ATCF

Do I have this written wrong in any way? I am not sure about the '@echo off' part, but I included it because that is what the instructions on WikiHow said to do when writing a batch file.
