File associations

[Trevor Smith]

Hi All,
I've rebuilt my pc and now have trouble with two file types, when double
clicking files in explorer. The files have .sch and .pcb extensions, from my
printed circuit board design program.

I've changed the "OPEN WITH" to show the correct program but in explorer it
still thinks they are "Microsoft Schedule+ Application" files.

If I right click on the files and check the properties, it shows the correct
program.
When I double click, the correct program opens OK, but no file is present.
I can use "open" from the program OK, but I'd prefer to work from explorer
normally.

Any ideas please ?

Try adding "%1" (This time WITH the quotes!) to the commandstring.

In Windows Explorer > Tool > Folder options > File Types, select the your
file type > click the Advanced button below > in the Edit file Type box,
click "open" whch should be in bold (set as default) > now click on the Edit
button > in the "Editing action for type:" box at the end of the "Application
to perform action":, the %1 should be in between quotes that is "%1", if its
not put the quotes. A typical entry at that field will look like this:
"C:\Program Files\<your program folder>\<your program>.exe" "%1"
