Hi Josh, Below are some notes that I've saved.
From: Steve [mailto:k...@sbcglobal.net] Don, 1. Open my computer. 2. Press alt-t for tools, and then select folder options. 3. Control tab to the file types tab. 4. There is a listview with probably some 400 different file extensions. Press the letter D to get you there quicker. Look for dot D O C which is .doc for your default MsWord file format. 5. Tab over to the change button and press enter. 6. A dialog will open. Arrow down and choose that you want to have those files open with Microsoft Office Word. You might have to navigate a treview if the program isn't listed in the original list, you should be able to find it under programs, Microsoft Office. etc. Steve From: "Don Mauck" < don.ma...@oracle.com> Actually I found an easier way. 1. Go to your "my documents" folder. 2. Highlight any word document (doc) (docx) 3. Press the applications key, select the "open as" dialog, select "choose program." 4. Select always use this program after selecting Word, and you're good to go. Regards, Don From: The Elf ah, yes you can, go to control panel, go to folder options, control tab to file types, arrow down through the file types till you find .txt, tab over to change, and go through the dialog to select note pad to open .text files now then if your trying to save an Email as a text file, usually you can by hitting file, save as and in the file type choose .txt if its available, if not then Donna's is the only real answer unless you want to do two saves, once as an html copy of the Email, and then again with I.E. to a text file. HTH, Inthane Hope this has helped. Take care.

This does not only occur with the attachments and it is not just periodic, but everytime I open WinAmp it seems like it is continuing to run in the background. I know there is a way to reassign file extensions to open up with different programs, but I cannot remember the steps to accomplish this. If anyone can help in solving my problem it will be greatly appreciated. I would like to know how to solve the current problem of completely shutting down WinAmp after it opens and also how to reassign the file extensions to open with an alternative program. I do not believe it has anything to do with Jaws, but I am using Jaws 12 latest version, a Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop, Windows XP Professional, Winamp 5.581.
