thanks Mark, but it's happen not only with ".txt" extensions. I have
installed f.e. the irfanview program and configured the ".jpg" extension to
this program. If now I want open a ".jpg"-file with another program I do a
rightclick, choose "open with" then (because my wish progam is not displayed
on the shortlist) "choose program" and.... there is no choice for me, it will
automatically open the ".jpg" file (or any other) with the notepad-program.
May I fix this?
Thanks a lot for help
