LAUNCHMD is a Win3 program that solves the problem of trying
to open multiple Excel or Winword documents by double-clicking
on the .XLS or .DOC files from the File Manager. Without LAUNCHMD,
double-clicking the second Excel file will open a second instance
of Excel; and Winword won't run a second instance. The preferred
action is to open the document as a second window within the same
instance. File...Associate your spreadsheet and winword document
files to LAUNCHMD and you'll have a better launcher.
Installation Proceures:
Copy LAUNCHMD.EXE to your Windows directory or in a
sub-directory that is in your PATH statement.
From the File Manager, use File... Associate to associate
.XLS, .XLC, .XLW, .XLM, .DOC, and .DOT to LAUNCHMD.EXE
Make sure Excel and Winword are in your PATH statement.
The next time you double-click on a spreadsheet or document
file in the File Manager window, Excel or Winword will open the
document as a window -- just as you would from File... Open.
You can also drag the .XLS or .DOC files to a Program Manager
group and change the icon to point to excel.exe or winword.exe.
Enjoy!
