I'm a little curious about what UE has done to my XP/Pro setup. I just installled V12, and from my admin account I set up the "file associations" for everything I plan to edit with UE... BUT: I was quite sure that it said in the help file that UE was *ONLY* going to mess with the _edit_ action for the various file types, but now I discover that when I double-click on a ".pl" file UE fires up, which is a *real* PITA [not the least of which is because I don't even know, quite, what the appropriate action-command used to be before UE stepped on it, so I don't know exactly how to fix the problem]. Worse, I just checked and UE didn't even set itself up as an 'edit' action: .pl *ONLY has 'open' and that's now set to UE instead of active state.

Did UE do this to EVERY file type I set it? If so, I have a lot of undoing to do [what a ROYAL pain!]. And also if so: I've clearly done something very wrong in getting UE config'ed: Assuming I get the damage fixed, What I wanted was UE *only*ever* to be the 'edit' action for essentially all of those file types and for it to leave the 'open' action as it was.. how should I do that?

Yup, another great big DUH on my part. Reading the help section more carefully, it does say, clearly "to determine which application is to be used to open the file". I don't know why/how I got it in my head [other than that UE is an editor..] that it'd set up the _edit_ action rather than the _open_ action.

Very nice that it saves the old associations [I'll go fix that now], but one thing that'd be nice would be to "set aside" the old associations. [for example, right now I *cannot* run a Perl program from Explorer]. Instead of removing the old open action, UE _could_ have moved it to some new action and then it'd show up on a right-click, which would allow us to eat our cake and have it too.

Thanks!
