You can associate a progame with a file type (extension)... Open any folder in windows, select "Folder Option" from the "Views" menu, click the "File Types" Tab, create a type for the extension on the file name, and specify a default action to "Open" files, and other actions (if you want) which apear on the right-click pop-up menu. -- Anahata anahata@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Tel: 01638 720444 http://www.treewind.co.uk Mob: 07976 263827
