If I go to the File Types tab from the Folder Option form, I show a TIF
extension in the listview. Its file type
is TIF File. If I click on the TIF file type, I then have in the lower half
of the form, a frame with
Details for 'TIF' extension as the caption. In that frame I have 2 buttons.
One called Change and one called
Restore. I click change and I then have a new form open with "Open With" as
the caption. I select "Windows Picture and Fax Viewer and click OK.
Is this correct so far?
