You're right, I was sure I'd done this but I must have been mistaken.

go to control panel - folder options - file types tab
delete the mar type (if you don't use it as m$ intended)

you can then click on the mar and set the program you want open it with

I'm usually looking in mars when developing. In eclipse I select open with and 
then browse to the external program I want to open mars and aars. 

Although now I've the default I can use the system default.

Yes, that was my first instinct too.  However, that option is not provided for 
whatever reason.  The “Open With” option is available on other shortcuts on my 
machine, but not for this one.  
 
I have also tried restarting my computer, and that did not work either.  
 
Any other suggestions? 
 
Thanks,

Subject: .mar file
I am trying to unzip my .mar file, but my Windows XP environment continues to 
think that the file is a “Microsoft Office Access Report Shortcut”.  I have 
changed my settings for the .mar file to be associated with WinZip (Tools > 
Folder Options > File Types…..), but it is to no avail b/c Windows still 
associates that file as the aforementioned Microsoft file type.  
 
Has anyone else had this problem within their Windows environment?  More 
importantly, has anyone fixed this problem in their Windows environment? 
 
Thanks, 
    Sean
