Thanks for using DETOUR. I have offered this project as freeware solely
to further my education of shareware distribution and for programming
experience. I cannot continue to learn and grow as a programmer without
your replies. I only ask of you, if you use Detour, please write me
with suggestions, ideas, to report problems, incompatibilities or just
to acknowledge use. I assume if you are reading this that you are
upgrading from an earlier version and therefore using Detour. Please,
let me know what you think.

I could have easily written code to deal with the upgrade process, but I
want Detour to be as small as possible, so I have elected not to do so.
If you are currently using Detour 1.0 or 1.1, then you will have to
follow these instructions for Detour 1.2 to work correctly. I have
listened to the few requests I have received, and I think you will
find Detour faster and much easier to use.
First of all, load your WIN.INI file into a text editor such
as NOTEPAD.EXE. Find the [Detour] section and beneath add the following
using the your own extensions listed...
Extensions=
And then add the extensions of each file associated with a
following comma. For the final entry, be sure to include a following comma
or Detour will not read the last entry.
i.e. [Detour]
Extensions=TXT,DOC,ICO,BMP,PCX,GIF,BAS,
TXT1=c:\windows\notebook.exe,NoteBook^1
TXT2=c:\windows\notepad.exe,NotePad^1
.
.
.
BAS1=c:\windows\vb\vb.exe,Visual Basic^1
BAS2=c:\windows\notebook.exe,NoteBook^1
Sorry for this minor inconvience, but once this is done, you can
completely control Detour with Detour Edit. This includes deleting a
single entry, or an entire association.
Thanks,
Hope to hear from you!
