// Open or run a downloaded file via the Windows shell, possibly showing first

// enhancement over the OpenItemViaShell() function of win_util.h.

// The user consent dialog will be shown or not according to the windows
// execution policy defined in the registry which can be overridden per user.

// the parent window will be disabled since the dialog is meant to be modal.
// The 'window_title' is the text displayed on the title bar of the dialog. If
// you pass an empty string the dialog will have a generic 'windows security'
// name on the title bar.
//
// You must provide a valid 'full_path' to the file to be opened and a well
// formed url in 'source_url'. The url should identify the source of the file
// but does not have to be network-reachable. If the url is malformed a
// dialog will be shown telling the user that the file will be blocked.
//
// In the event that there is no default application registered for the file
// specified by 'full_path' it ask the user, via the Windows "Open With"
// dialog.
// Returns 'true' on successful open, 'false' otherwise.
