I wanted to make XEmacs the default text editor to open files with extensions
..cpp, .h, .dat, and .txt. How do I do that? I already posted this in the
windows XP general forum, but I didn't get much help there. So, sorry for
this duplicate post.

Sorry - meant to add...

The first hit is fine for what you are asking:
How to change or select which program starts when you double-click a file in
Windows XP

Second hit too...
How can I change what program opens a certain file in Windows?

3rd hit - not too bad.
4th... not really so great without further reading/clicking...
5th-8th - nah... Not really what you want...

9th - not bad at all.:

So on and so forth.
