S Scott Mar 2, 2007 #3 Hi Paka, Most or all? Try applying the .exe association fix from here: http://www.winhelponline.com/articles/105/1/ Click to expand... Another MS blunder. Windows is the only OS that relies on file extensions to determine file associations. Double click on a jpeg file names "some picture" in GNOME or KDE (Linux) or Mac OS X and what happens? It opens. Do that in Windows and.... nada. Only in Windows would it have to be named "some picture.jpg". Considering all the advancements in Vista it's amazing that dinosaur still exists. -- Scott http://angrykeyboarder.com A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing? NOTICE: In-Newsgroup (and therefore off-topic) comments on my sig will be cheerfully ignored, so don't waste our time.
