From a command prompt;

assoc .chm
should return with
..chm=chm.file
If not
assoc .chm=chm.file
to restore the default file type association.

ftype chm.file
should return with
chm.file="C:\winnt\hh.exe" %1
If not
ftype chm.file="C:\winnt\hh.exe" %1
to restore the default open action for the file type.

 

[bin chen]

thanks for help, anyway, it did not work.

I use Window 2000 system and have two hard drive (C: and
D. "C" for Data and "D" for system file. when I type
command as per your instructions, it process as following:
" assoc .chm" ---> ..chm=chm.file
"ftype chm.file" ---> "chm.file=D:\WINNT\hh.exe" %1
exact result as your said.

when I go back to open the ".chm" file, it still fail,
says :"mkMSITStore:C:\filepath\filename.chm"

I need more help for that. by the way, there is simplified
chinese character in the filename,and the file was
downloaded from Internet. will it affect the operation?
thanks

Is it just the one file or all *.chm files?

 

[bin chen]
