Re: Windows file type settings confusion

["Jim Essinger" <dilbernator@xxxxxxxxx>]

Waden, & all;

Thank for your replys.  I looked at the registry entry for .txt, and also
for the program itself.  Walden was right - the command for the program was
missing the double quotes around it, and was also missing the %1 parm.  When
I fixed it for the program entry in the registry, and for the .txt entry, it
now works as I expect it to.  The open with works right on files that are
not yet assigned to NoteTab, and the .txt works right when opening with a
double click.

Why it was different from this reinstall than it was in the original install
is still a question in my mind, but at least it works!

Jim
