When I click on a network drive it opens the "Open With" box???Urg
Posted by Dungeonhawk on October 31st, 2005


Good morning.. I have been experiencing a random problem for over a year and
finally its become a priority.
On some machines, very few, when you click in my computer, or via a shortcut
to open a mapped network drive, the "OPen With" box comes up;. You know, the
one that asks if you want to open it with word, excel, notepad, whatever...

I realize this is probably some sort of file association error, but I can
not find out how to fix it.
It happens on the same pcs, 100% of the time, and not at all on 90% of the
machines we have... THe only way around it is to right click, and click
explore.

ANy help please?
Thanks in advance.

Ryan
