| 128701 | 2003-03-17 01:12:00 | I right-clicked it and chose open with (It has not extension and so no file-association) and selected the bottom option. Choose notepad and you should be peachy, I was. I was logged in as a user with Admin rights. It tells you how to add addresses in the file :-) Chilling_Silence |
