RE: MySQL: my.cnf in Windows 2000
Hi Fred I have had the exac same problem, seems to be associated with 'SpeedDial', what I do it left click once on the file so that it is selected, then hold down the shift button and right click on the file, then gives you the option 'Open With', and use choose open width Notepad, or wordpad. Works well, but a bit of a hassle each time :-) Regards Warren ~ Warren van der Merwe Software Director PRT Trading (Pty) Ltd t/a RedTie Durban, South Africa Cell (+27-83) 262-9163 Office (+27-31) 767-0249 > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > ]On Behalf > Of Dinkler, Fred > Sent: 17 July 2001 22:45 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Philip Daggett > Cc: Mysql List (E-mail) > Subject: RE: MySQL: my.cnf in Windows 2000 > > > Mike - > > Actually, your procedure below doesn't work for this extension. > > I always reset my system to show all extensions, including > systems and hidden files, and this extension still doesn't appear. > > Haven't tried to unassociate the extension, as that's more invasive > than I want to do.

RE: MySQL: my.cnf in Windows 2000
Mike - Actually, your procedure below doesn't work for this extension. I always reset my system to show all extensions, including systems and hidden files, and this extension still doesn't appear. Haven't tried to unassociate the extension, as that's more invasive than I want to do. Anyway, the ini file work fine.

Re: MySQL: my.cnf in Windows 2000
Just go (in windows explorer) to view->optoins, and uncheck hide extensions of known file types, and the extensions will show up. You can also un-associate it through this.

RE: MySQL: my.cnf in Windows 2000
Problem under Win2000 with any file having a .cnf extension. That extension is reserved by Win2000 as a system (Speed Dial) file and will automatically hide the extension from you. You can't search for it and it will not show it. IF you create a my.cnf file, it appears as "my" I use 'WINNT\my.ini' just fine as documented in 4.16.5 of the Manual and it works well.
