I give up. I want to double-click a file with a particular extension and
have it associate with the correct program to run, and then run it. However,
I keep getting a popup "Open With" dialog.
The file extension is transparent to the question, but just in case it
matters, the extension is DSW and the associated program is Microsoft (R)
Developer Studio. I have associated the program, disabled DDE and should be
good-to-go. But what is annoying is that I keep getting an "Open With..."
dialog, even after I check "Always use the selected program to open this
kind of file".
