- I am having a problem with a text file that I have. It has its own icon,
- and when I click on it I want it to automatically load the specified
- Default Tool (c:Ed) and let me alter the text file.
-
- I put "c:Ed" in the icon's Default Tool, click on Save, then I
- double-click on the icon to start it up. Works fine. However, when I
- exit and try to double-click on the icon again, I get a requester stating
- something to the effect that there is no tool ":E" or something like
- that. When I check the icon's Default Tool, it has indeed changed.
-
- I'm wondering why, once I set the icon's Default Tool, save it and
- actually try the icon out, why does it work, and then turns around and
- changes when I try it again?
-
- Has anyone else encountered this strange problem?
-
- Please e-mail me...
-
- Thanks.
