-=PCTechTalk=- Re: Txt shortcuts on Desktop not working

When Open With doesn't help, I can often get the association back by right 
clicking and selecting Properties.  Once open, click on the Change button 
and use the Browse button (even if it's already listed) to manually select 
the app you wish to use.  If this doesn't work, there is another method but 
I'll need to look it up for you.

Peace,
Gman
