Open with Associated Viewer: This right click menu item opens the current file using the associated viewer (program). If there is no file association established on your computer for the highlighted file, the default viewer, configurable in General Options, is used (default is NOTEPAD.EXE). The file to open is determined by the focus in the Search Results list, which is marked by a thin rectangle or a highlight. Open with Associated Viewer is not available if the Search Results is empty.

In the current example, "Open with Associated Viewer" would launch the web browser associated with .htm files.

Note: If the file is in a ZIP file, it is extracted to a subdirectory specified in Search Options. If you edit a file in a ZIP, you must use your ZIP utility to update the ZIP as Search and Replace does not update changes to ZIP files. If you need a ZIP utility, check out our own Directory Toolkit for Windows95/NT.
