48261	2002-05-11 07:38:00	The way I do it is, right click the file and click the Open With, wait for the menu of available programs, scroll thgrough the list till you find the program that you want to open the program with, place a tick in the box and then go to the bottom and place a tick in the box Always Open With and click OK. All done.	Guest (0)

Right click the 'Start' button 2. Click on to 'Explore'. 3. Open the 'Send To' folder normally 'C:\windows\SendTo' or 'C:\windows\ShellNew\SendTo' 4 . Right click inside the folder on the white space below were the files are listed and select 'New'. 5. Follow instructions.	Guest (0)
