<div class="IPBDescription">Changing Default File Associations-Win98</div> how do you change the default file associations for Windows 98.

I'm asking for my laptop, my regular computer has upgraded.

I do some sprite development on my laptop, and it default opens sprites with a text editor. It won't let me change. How do I tell it to change that to a sprite viewer program. I never could figure it out for Win98.

for win2k
simply right click on the file and choose open with

I assume its the same for XP, I don't use/like xp so i can't tell you for sure. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
