Hey Hugh, It worked! The first time I tried it, it didn't give the "Always use..." option, and when the file opened, it was gibberish. I did another run-through, and this time it associated permanently, so that another file also opened properly without doing that part, and the files were both readable and normal. Thanks! And thanks to the other person I first asked, also! Raphael Hugh Vandervoort wrote: > > Hold the shift key while right-clicking a .txt file. This will give you the > "Open With" choice.
