In Windows, I want to be able to d-click on the PS.exe shortcut and have it automatically load a document. I realize that I can d-click on an associated file extention but this does not address my current situation.
Most programs will allow you to include a 'file open' argument on the same line as the .exe (i.e. "...\photoshop.exe <DocumentFilePath>").

This can be wuite easily done:
1. Right click on the Photoshop shortcut and selct Properties from the context menu.
2. Add the path of your image to the Target: text box after the Photoshop path. The Photoshop path and the image path should be seperated by a space. For example lets say the Photoshop path is C:\Program Files\Adobe\PS7\Photoshop.exe and the image path is C:\images\myimage.jpg. Then the Target: text box should contain
C:\Program Files\Adobe\PS7\Photoshop.exe C:\images\myimage.jpg
3. Press OK.

Thanks Harald - I tried doing this initially and couldn't get it to work due to typo!
