I tried this with just a .txt file. assoc .txt=txtfile ftype txtfile="c:\vim\vim73b\gvim.exe" --remote-silent "%1" It still launches gvim but no text. I also tried this: assoc .=txtfile Then I tried to double-click _vimrc and it opened it up in an existing gvim and replaced one of my buffers. I then closed all of my gvim windows and tried again. Double-clicking _vimrc opened it up in a new window. Very strange. And finally I closed all gvim windows and tried opening a .txt file again, but no luck. -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post!
