File Association Issue

[Bob S]

I have WinXP SP2 on both my home and work computers.

I have a bunch of files I have to review which have the .wk4
extension. I'd like to associate that extension with Excel,
which is sufficient for my purposes.

On my home computer it was easy: I double clicked on one of
the files, a box popped up where I could browse to the Excel
executable, and I was on my way.

On my work computer, however, double clicking on a wk4 file
doesn't get me anywhere; nothing happens. I also looked in
the File Types tab of Folder Options, and wk4 wasn't listed.

How can I associate this extension with Excel?

Thanks.

Right click and try open with. If that opens, then associate and make
sure you check the box to use that all the time.

That did it.

Thanks very much.
