Windows Not remembering File types?

Well, you know when certain files need certain programs to run but windows doesnt know what it goes too, So then you click like Open>Choose program Then Check the box "Always open these file types with this program", For some reason Whenever I try to Do that, Windows Doesnt record it and Always asks me what program to open the file with? Any help?



None.

I got the same problem, if you're always going to open with, change the file type to LOAD the program standard.

For instance, you want SCMDraft 2 to always load maps. Go to Control panal, Folder options. Inside, click the tab called file types, wait for it to load then find .scx. Should be a button allowing you to change the program, and the advanced button which allows you to screw with the "Right click" menu, offering more buttons. For instance if you right click a BMP, theres Open and Edit, open obvously Irfanview, Windows Picture Viewer, etc, and edit, MSPaint, or any photoshop that may have taken over.

If that doesnt help, Meh.

DarkenedFantasies -- Probably just didn't care. For example, at some point before release, they've updated the graphics of some of the Protoss buildings (Forge, CyberCore, Citadel, Observatory, Arbiter Tribunal), but instead of properly re-rendering them with edited 3D models, they did crappy copy-paste jobs on the rendered graphics.

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?
