Hi,
Assuming it associated with NOTEPAD or WORDPAD or something open a folder ( any folder ) and click on

View -> folder options

Then click on

file types

Then scroll down to

C source files
C header files
C++ source files

and delete them.

Then the next time you click on one of them it will prompt you for what you want to open it with

Make sure the

Alway use this box

is checked.

select msdev.exe

and if it isn't in the list BROWSE to it.

thanks, but that is what i already knew
i was wondering if visual studio itself could associate the files through a menu option or something. žÅNžÅ
