Hi, I have two questions (Win XP):
1) I accidentally set a file's extension to open with the option "Always open with this app", or whatever the text is. Anyway, you can change it in the file's property dialog, but you cannot remove it. I want to remove it so that it will prompt to "browse the internet for appropriate viewer" or whatever the text is.
2) How do I modify the "Open with..." or "Send to..." option on the context menu to always include Notepad.exe?
Thanks,
David

open "My computer", go to "Tools" menu, "Folder options", "File types" tab, there is a list of all extentions, select the one you want to change, the select it and select "change" chose your program, If you don't have one, a the botom there is a place to select search the web for program.
The "Open with.." is done automaticly by Windows, If you use it once on a file I would always be open for selection, remember to deselect the "alway open with" check box if don't want to change it permanantly.
