Hi,

In win98 I could associate a file extension to be opened by a program
and put a flag as well so the program would open in a specified way.

How do you do this in XP? I can associate the extenstion, but when I
double click to open it just opens it in the default way and I can't
see any way to add in flags.

Anyone help???

Thanks,
Ciao.
 
If you want to add commandline parameters, use the File Types tab. (Open
Windows Explorer > Tools > Folder Options > File Types)

Uh, have you tried it? That's how it used to work in win98 but in XP
there's no option except selecting the program to open with. If you
could expand on what to do once you've got to "Windows Explorer >
Tools > Folder Options > File Types" that would be cool.

Thanks.
