376522	2005-07-29 01:13:00	I have DCWIN my favourite drafting program and its old DOS version on my computer. I want any drawings particularly recent ones to be opened by EXPLORE using DCWIN but when I try to get DCWIN added to the list of programs available to open files it refuses to copy over when I have selected it. The old DOS version(which was accepted) is no longer on my computer, I don't need it so got rid. This problem does not exist on my laptop which uses XP home. I have XP prof on the desktop. How can I get DCWIN accepted as a program to open files. Just for interest XP tries to open the files in ACDSee which just cannot do that. Tom	Thomas01 (317)
