Awesome, thanks Richard.  I knew someone would think of the obvious,
which I had overlooked.

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,

Its a rather poorly chosen file extension already overloaded

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
