Hi All,

I have noticed two XP-pro, sp2 computers in three days
with this problem. Both have Aministrator rights.

On a data file icon, when I <shift><right Click>, then
"Open With", I get the dialog as usual. When I click browse
and select the program I want and press okay, the program
does not come back into the dialog. Hmmmm. Anyone
know what is causing this?

Many thanks,

Hi,

See if registering the program again helps.

Registering a program with the "Open With" dialog:
