Launching .rev files on WinXP
OK, I guess I need the long weekend more than I realized... I have 3.5.0 build 870 on my WinXP Pro computer. When I double click on a .rev file, it luanches the Rev IDE, but it doesn't load the file. I must go to FileOpen and select the file. Then it will open. I right clicked on the .rev file and said Open with to see if it might correct the problem, but I don't even have the Revolution.exe file as an option. I browsed to the .exe and selected it, but it still won't show up in the list of available programs to open up the file... Anyone else seen this?

Launching .rev files on WinXP

Bill Hi Bill, I've found that applying the following changes, seems to fix things with this concern: 1) Open Windows Explorer 2) Select Tools Folder Options from the pulldown menu 3) Click on the File Types tab 4) hilite the REV Extension (typing REV will locate the line) 5) Click the 'Advanced' button 6) Select the 'Open' action and click the 'Edit...' button Now... In the 'Application used to perform action:' field, browse to the rev folder for which version of RunRev you want launched for ALL .rev files. The result of editing this, should look like this: C:\Program Files\Revolution Studio\3.5.0-gm-2\Revolution.exe %1 The %1 parameter is the file that is being selected to open by you. Click OK to save your changes. -- HTH you, Mark Stuart Email has been scanned for viruses by Altman Technologies' email management service - www.altman.co.uk/emailsystems___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Mark, Yes, that worked great. Thank you. The weird part is, the Advanced button didn't show up at first. The button was actually Restore. There was a note that said the .rev files would be using the application for .rav and I could click restore to set it back to the default .rev Man, I have no idea how that happened.
