Instead of clicking on "winzip64.exe" I clicked on "wzwipe32.exe". Now, how do I get rid of the wrong input? Please help if you know how. Thank you. In general: SHIFT-right-click on a item of that type, select "Open With"*» "Choose default program". Didn't I say this yesterday? g You may have done, but I didn't see it. OK, no big deal. I've sometimes done the same thing myself. Did you also suggest just running Winzip to let it repair the associations? Nope. Except I didn't say SHIFT right-click. That's because holding down the Shift key, which was necessary in older versions of Windows, is not necessary in Windows 7. By Jove, you're right! So many useful things in Win 7 require Shift- right-click that I've got out of the habit of doing a plain right- click. Understood. |
