Open Explorer. Go to View|Folder Options. Go to the File Types Tab look XML document in the Registered file types box, click edit and edit the "open" command to ""D:\PROGRA~1\Plus!\MICROS~1\iexplore.exe" -nohome " or wherever iexplorer.exe resides on your machine. If that is already your Open command path, check whether you have "Open" as a default command and not "Edit". Good luck!

Subject: IE5 brain damage IE5 has some sort of stupid integration with my desktop (NT) such that when I try toopen a file off my local hard drive it opens in TextPad instead. The reason TextPad is picked is because that's what I've registered to handle XML files. But I'd still like to be able to use IE to open it directly. Does anyone know how to fix this so that IE does not hand off XML files to a helper app? It will open the XML file directly if (and only if) I follow a link to a file on the hard drive rather than simply opening it on my hard drive. Any suggestions? +-----------------------+------------------------+-------------------+ | Elliotte Rusty Harold | elharo@m... | Writer/Programmer | +-----------------------+------------------------+-------------------+ | Java I/O (O'Reilly & Associates, 1999) | | http://metalab.unc.edu/javafaq/books/javaio/ | | http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN=1565924851/cafeaulaitA/ | +----------------------------------+---------------------------------+ | Read Cafe au Lait for Java News: http://metalab.unc.edu/javafaq/ | | Read Cafe con Leche for XML News: http://metalab.unc.edu/xml/ | +----------------------------------+---------------------------------+ xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers.
