I have just been upgraded to Windows XP/Word 2002
(10.4219.4219 sp2).
I handle a wide range of file types which I had previously
been able to open easily in Word from Explorer using "open
with". Now, with the new, "improved" version, I only get
a message saying that my file "is not a valid Win32
application". I have changed the file associations that
set which program starts when you open a file.
Unfortunately, Word does not trust my judgment and I still
get the error.
I can still open these files without problems if I open
Word and then do "File, Open". But, it is considerably
less convenient to do it this way. If anyone knows a way
around this new dummy-proof feature, I would greatly
appreciate it. (Other than renaming all documents
to ".doc")
Thank you.
