View Full Version : Controling how files are opened

When I sit down to write code I would like to open all my .java files in a particular project at once, using Notepad. If I click them and click "OPEN" the Code Warrior IDE opens and opens the files.
They are .java files but Notepad handles them fine. I don't see an "open with" option on my right click. I need a way to disable Code Warrior, hopefully without uninstalling it. Or a way to set the files to open in Notepad when they are clicked. Or a way in Notepad to select more than one file to open at once.
Any ideas are appreciated
Thanks
Peter

if you want to open those files in notepad... go thru windows explorer click (tools/options or view not sure which in 98)-folder options-file types and associate them there with notepad.

there are also thrid party apps like Winboost that will let you put and Open With.... or Open With Notepad in Right Click.

Personally what I do is add a shortcut to notepad in my send to menu

in 98 that should be in c:\windows\send to I believe and it may be a hidden file so you will have to show those, same menu as I showed above but on the tab that says View check the circle that says show hidden files

Thanks Jimi,
That works a lot better, opening multiples required changing
the program association, your first suggestion.
