Kent <Kent@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> hunted and pecked:

Can a file association be set so that all UN-associated files open with
it. I want all files with no extension as well as all files with no
association to open with notepad.
I have many applications that create numeric sequential extensions, it is
a pain always telling them to open with notepad.
