3/22 Can someone tell me how to change the file association and
extension on Win95/NT? I've tried using explorer to edit file
type, etc etc, and nothing works.
\_to change the file extension (make sure that you have the file
extensions turned on (not hidden) and just click the right
mouse button on the file in explorer and "rename"
To change which program starts when you open a file:
" 1 In My Computer or Windows Explorer, click the View
menu, and then click Options.
2 Click the File Types tab.
3 In the list of file types, click the one you want
to change. The settings for that file type are
shown in the File Type Details box.
4 Click Edit.
5 In the Actions box, click Open.
6 Click Edit, and then specify the program you want
to use to open files that have this extension."
\_ from the Help file (try using it) brett
\_ That's exactly what I tried, but everything graphical icons
insists on starting PhotoShop instead of LView. I've tried
taking everything off the list, and the association still
exists. Now what?
\_ You can do the same, but instead of edit that file
type, do a remove of that file type. So, the next
time you try to open that file with that extension,
it'll prompt you for the application you want to open
with. I hope this works. - nduong

unless you have training on registry. - nduong
