- Jeremy,
-
- I had the same problem at one time. Turned out that I had the association
- setting for *.inf on the Command Reference or another that already had a
- specific .inf file. I removed that association, and setup the view.exe object
- itself to have *.inf association. Works great!
-
- But, it sure can be a pain to find WHICH one already had the association!
-
- Any suggestions from anyone on finding what object has an association set?
