.rev file association issues

[Robert J. Earp]

This is a coincidence Gary as I just spent a number of very frustrating 
hours trying to do the same thing.

The good news is that I did manage to do it, the bad news is that (although 
it's still working), I'm not sure if I can remember the exact process I 
ended up doing.  You see, I was in the UK when I was working on it, and the 
weather was unseasonably hot, and the beer was enticing, and the girls 
seemed to be trying desperately to remove all but essential clothing to 
remain cool, and...........  well you get the picture.

If I remember correctly, from Windows Explorer I went into the Tools:Folder 
Options:File Types, scrolled down to REV entry and deleted it. (It was 
associated with WinRAR as with your system)  I then clicked on the New 
button and created a REV entry and tried to associate it with the RunRev 
application, but it didn't.  I then clicked on the Advanced button, and 
then the Edit button, which opens an Edit File Type dialogue box where I 
could type in an Action of  "open" (minus quotes), and the full path of the 
RunRev app in the "Application used to perform action" box.

Clicking on the OK button takes you back to the Edit File Type dialogue 
box, where you can select the icon to use for the file association.  I just 
used the RunRev one found in the RunRev application folder.

Having said all of that, I'm sure some bright spark will let us know it's 
just a case of editing the Registry !!

Bloody Windoze eh!!

best, Bob...
