Hi, Kelly. That would work, too, if you wanted to specify a program to open the file, but for the purpose of Web braille, which is where those instructions came from, you don't always want to do that. What I usually do is save the files and transfer them to my Braille Lite, so you can create a registry entry for that type of file without specifying a program, and that would be how you could do it, but in the case of just wanting to read the files with a braille display, you could probably do it that way. I never have, though, which is why I didn't mention it. Take care.

There's probably a reason that won't work, maybe because it's XP? Just Curious, Kellie
