How do I set a standard program for a certain filetype?

[C. McGuire]

How do I get a Program to become the default startup program for a certain
filetype?

I have problems setting ACDSee as the standard program for .JPG (or any
other pic file for that matter)
(ACDSe should normally take vare of this by setting all the filetypes in
should point to internally but is does not work by itslef like it is
supposed to)

The funny thing is that if I doubler click I get MSVIEW.EXE as the program
but if I choose start by right clicking and then point to open, ACDsee opens
the way it should.

I did not have this problem with Win98

I have tried to manually set the program in the Folder Tools-menu -
File-Type but to no avail.

Any help is appreciated.
Regards
Carmen

Hi C McGuire,

Did you check the "Always open with this program" checkbox? If not, do the
following:
Right click the file type you want to open in ACDSee, Select Open with,
Choose Program.
Select ACDSee and then check the box that says always open with this
program.

Thanks,
